Haha. I guess usually, they make it “dead”.

Dead guys can’t rebound or catch passes.

One undrafted free agent rookie to watch for each team in minicamp, training camp and during the preseason
These undrafted first-year pros have the potential to make a roster in 2025

You know who Jackson Meeks is a lot like? journeyman receiver Tim Patrick, who was inexplicably cut by the Broncos in 2024, subsequently signed by the Lions, and had himself a respectable 33-catch, 394-yard, three-touchdown regular season as one of the club's background options.
At nearly 6-foot-2 and 217 pounds, Meeks is a sizable specimen on the outside, and what he lacks in speed (4.65-second 40-yard dash), he counters with tenacious ball skills. The former Georgia receiver came down with 60% of his contested-catch opportunities (despite the 50-50 ball cliche, a 60% win rate in that scenario is fantastic for any wideout) during his lone season at Syracuse. He's not sudden but loves shielding defenders with his body. While there aren't loads of new targets "available" on this Lions team from the squad a season ago, Meeks could serve as direct depth behind Patrick in the receiver room with a strong summer.

Meeks and OG in the Hall of Fame Game tonight. I hope they are both able to make some plays.

and wax
Good to see all 3 get in the box score. Meeks also with a tackle. Seemed like Wax and Gadsden played most of the game. Didn't see Savion Washington.

Ive been reading a few blogs around the different teams the boys are on, seem like both lequint and Meeks are consensus keeps on their respective team's 53 man rosters. Ya never know how it'll shake out but that bodes well for Syracuse if the boys can stick in the league for a bit.
Wax had a good game Saturday. He started the game. Maybe could be backup lb and special teams.

I've heard Lequint is a lock for the Jags roster from a well informed source there. He needs to stay healthy and just keep doing his thing. But he's impressed with his work ethic and skills, including on special teams.
Hopefully, i dont see his name many places but its still early

Etienne days are numbered. They will keep Bigsby, Tuten, and Allen 100%. Etienne I could see traded or cut.
Another big game for Meeks today. I would think he's wrapped up a roster spot.
Meeks might end up being the best pro out of all those Syracuse players who went to the NFL this year.
