![]() ![]() In college, Meander was a safety, primarily lining up in the box. However, he also matched up a lot in the slot and played a couple of snaps as an outside cornerback. In preseason action with the Browns, Meander played most of his reps as a deep safety. In high school, he ran a sub-10.8 in the 100 meters. He ran a 4.44 40-yard dash and posted a 37.5” vertical and 124” broad jump. Meander has good size and length and posted some excellent athletic numbers at his pro day. Now let’s take a look at what Meander brings to the table, divided into categories. When he was waived in June, the Jets claimed him, making him the first player acquired in the Joe Douglas era. Meander was poached from the Browns’ practice squad at the end of November and spent the rest of the year on their 53-man roster, although he was inactive each week. He played for them in preseason, registering three tackles in four games and then spent 12 weeks on the Browns’ practice squad. He started at safety in 2017 and racked up 49 tackles, two interceptions and two pass breakups.Īfter a solid pro day, there was some buzz that Meander might be drafted but he eventually went unselected and the Browns signed him as an undrafted free agent. In his first year with the Tigers, Meander caught two passes for 19 yards and recorded eight tackles, as he made the transition to safety part of the way through the season. He opted to transfer to Grambling State in January 2016. The team suspended him and he never played a down for them, even though the charges were ultimately dropped in 2015. Meander’s college career was derailed by a sexual assault allegation before his redshirt freshman season in 2014 after he had been recruited to Texas as a wide receiver. Meander has also spent time with the Oakland Raiders. He is 6’2” and 215 pounds and spent preseason last year with the Cleveland Browns. Meander is a 24-year old defensive back who was undrafted out of Grambling State last season. With camp now underway, we’re going to take a look at some more of the Jets’ offseason acquisitions, continuing today with Montrel Meander. ![]()
