Quote:Along with his family familiarity, Meeks was drawn to Jacksonville by Jaguars defensive backs coach Perry Fewell. The pair met at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis earlier this year and hit it off.

The Jaguars, Meeks said, had the defensive back prospect rated higher than any other NFL team entering the selection process.
"I feel like I'm going to a place where a position coach really believes in me and really wants me," Meeks said. "That's all I could really ask for, is to go to a place that really believes in me, believes in my ability and what I can do for the team."


Some media pundits were surprised to see Meeks go undrafted. He had left school early after his junior season due to his standout three-year tenure at Stanford. He played both outside cornerback positions and also spent time in the slot as the nickel back.
