Good for him

 

[Cusefan69]

His approach to the game matches Dan Campbell from a bring the effort every play. Definitely could land on specials and be a 5th receiver.

100 percent. He will impress the staff there. And he will earn a special teams spot.

I hope he does well. He played his arse off for us. Super clutch

 

[Archimedes]

He can ball. I think he'll make the team.

 

[cusefan88]

My avatar approves.

 

[All4SU]

Great! Good luck Mr. Meeks.

2nd half of the year he was huge. Knows how to get position and win balls like so many other “slow” (by NFL receiver standards) guys drafted with this skill. Watching him this year, he looked like a pro.

I would rank him #1 and Barron #2 as UDFA most likely to make it. Wax practice squad guy.

Great kid and loved playing at SU.

 

[GoSU96]

If he had another year he’d be getting at least twice that much.

Good luck

Hope he sticks, but I have confidence he has a solid shot to make THE LEAGUE.

Good player with no flaws.

I don't do X any more, too much negativity, however Meeks and Wax IMO are NFL material. Meeks was the real threat down the stretch and really shined at pro events. Wax was just hitting his stride after his return after injury. Fantastic draft for Cuse. Now to keep it up with such a ridiculous schedule coming up.

Totally agree. I think this is aperfect fit.

Supposedly he was a special team demon at Georgia. I guess because he started at wideout, we never saw that much of him there but it should help him make the team.

 

[BillSU]

He will make the team. A special player. Great hands he will eventually become a wide receiver for the Lions. Congrats man you deserve that money.

 

[RF2044]

I was excited when we landed Meeks, because he seemed like a "competent" receiver who would help add platoon depth to a unit that was depth-depleted the previous year.

Man, did I sell him short. I actually think that he has a pretty good shot at making the NFL, despite going undrafted. Wish him nothing but the best.

Thought I would post this article from the Lions where we are getting Positive public relations due to the signing of Jackson Meeks. Here is the latest from the Lions:

Jackson Meeks, WR, Syracuse: Jackson Meeks broke out after transferring from Georgia to Syracuse. After only 132 yards across three seasons at Georgia, Meeks had 1,021 yards and seven touchdowns in Syracuse’s high-powered passing attack. The 6-foot-2, 213-pound receiver is the nephew of recently released Lions edge rusher Za’Darius Smith, too. Smith shared a message of “congrats nephew” shortly after the signing was confirmed by Meeks’ agency.

The Lions also drafted two receivers in the draft. They took Arkansas wideout and Michigan native Isaac TeSlaa in the third round, then grabbed Georgia’s Dominic Lovett in the seventh round. NFL Network reports Meeks got $200,000 guaranteed and a $20,000 signing bonus to sign with the Lions.

I think if he had another year here he'd probably be a late round pick.

He did all that and didnt come on till 3 rd or 4 th game. Woulda been 1200 yds or more in full year per say
