Professional career

The Baltimore Ravens signed Mekari as an undrafted free agent, as he was not selected in the 2019 NFL Draft.[2] After a strong camp and preseason while showing off his versatility, Mekari made the Ravens initial 53-man roster, extending the streak of undrafted players making the Ravens roster to 16 years.[3][4]

After coming in to the game against Los Angeles in Week 12 for an injured Matt Skura, Mekari made his first start at home against San Francisco when Skura was placed on season-ending injured reserve.[5] Mekari was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list by the team on November 25, 2020,[6] and activated on December 4.[7]

Personal life

He is the son of Lebanese immigrants who settled in California.[3]
