You know who [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/26700892/jackson-meeks/']Jackson Meeks[/URL] is a lot like? journeyman receiver [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/players/2818910/tim-patrick/']Tim Patrick[/URL], who was inexplicably cut by the [URL='https://www.cbssports.com/nfl/teams/DEN/denver-broncos/']Broncos[/URL] 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.
