After a very productive preseason, undrafted rookie receiver Jakobi Meyers has reportedly made the final 53-man roster.
The NC State product developed chemistry with rookie quarterback Jarrett Stidham very early on and demonstrated some impressive consistency throughout the preseason. He was a little shaky playing with Tom Brady, but it takes time to earn a six-time Super Bowl champion's trust.
Meyers joins Gunner Olszewski as the team's two undrafted rookies on the roster. Bill Belichick has kept an undrafted rookie on the roster for 16 consecutive seasons now, and he has a pretty good track record of getting production out of those players, i.e. Malcolm Butler.
Now that Meyers' inclusion on the roster is confirmed, the final 53-man roster is complete. Here's a look at who the Patriots will carry into Week 1 against the Steelers:
Thee roster moves won't end here, but there are definitely fewer question marks about how Bill Belichick envisions the structure of his team.
The Patriots open their sixth Super Bowl defense on Sunday, 9/8 at 8:20 EST against the Steelers.
