## Resource

The Detroit Lions are quietly building a special teams dynamo for 2026, bringing in Greg Dortch and eyeing second-year receiver Jackson Meeks as a wildcard. Though Meeks saw limited snaps last season, his offseason gains—both physical and mental—have caught the coaching staff’s attention. He’s even being considered as a backup tight end, snagged a TD in minicamp, and could compete for return duties alongside Dortch and Kennedy. If he keeps showing up, Meeks might just become another undrafted gem who secures a roster spot through hustle and versatility.
