JACKSONVILLE – The Jaguars on Wednesday practiced at the Miller Electric Center.
Lawrence’s high praise for wide receiver Jakobi Meyers continues.
Meyers, a seven-year veteran, was acquired in a Week 10 trade with the Las Vegas Raiders with the idea he could quickly be a reliable – and trusted – target for Lawrence. He has been just that, catching 8 passes for 105 yards in 2 games – including 5 receptions for 64 yards in a victory over the Los Angeles Chargers this past Sunday.
He led the team in targets (6), receptions and receiving yards against the Chargers.
“He has done an awesome job,” Lawrence said of Meyers. “The way he runs and moves, that’s something I noticed right when he got here. I’ve seen him play a lot, too, but I like throwing to him. He’s just an easy guy to throw to from a quarterback perspective.
“Just the way he moves, it seems very clear what he is going to do. That’s something I really like. Then, he is smart too. He has picked up the offense really quickly for it being a pretty complicated offense and having to come in and play three, four days after getting here. And now he’s played a few games with us, and he’s done an awesome job.
“I really give a lot of credit to him.” …
Lawrence on Wednesday reiterated what he said following Sunday’s victory – that wearing a wristband with select play calls helped the offense get to the line of scrimmage more quickly.
Lawrence played without a wristband in the first nine games of the season after wearing one in his first four seasons.
