Report: Meyer didn't know Aaron Donald, other star opposing players

Urban Meyer was even less prepared for the NFL than his brief time in charge of the Jacksonville Jaguars suggested.

The former Jaguars head coach was unfamiliar with star players around the league, including Los Angeles Rams defensive tackle Aaron Donald, San Francisco 49ers receiver Deebo Samuel, and Seattle Seahawks safety Jamal Adams, reports Jayson Jenks and Mike Sando of The Athletic.

"Who's this 99 guy on the Rams?" Meyer asked one staffer during the season, a source told Jenks and Sando. "I'm hearing he might be a problem for us."

Meyer had said he conducted a six-month deep dive on the NFL prior to taking the job.

The Athletic's story also highlighted other reported allegations of mistreatment and unprofessionalism against Meyer, who apparently kicked kicker Josh Lambo during warmups and publicly called out receiver Marvin Jones, which led to a practice confrontation.

"The most toxic environment I've ever been a part of," a veteran member of the Jaguars' football operations staff said. "By far. Not even close."

Jacksonville fired the ex-Ohio State legend just 13 games into his first campaign after a 2-11 start.

Meyer said in January that his tenure with the AFC South club "was the worst experience I've had in my professional lifetime."

The Jaguars replaced Meyer with Super Bowl-winning coach Doug Pederson this offseason.
