The Seahawks have talent at wide receiver, but at the moment DK Metcalf is the only deep threat defenses need to respect.
On Monday, the Seattle Seahawks broke up the summer doldrums of the offseason with a series of rosters moves, which gave fans something resembling actual football to discuss while awaiting the start of training camp. The moves themselves were unremarkable, with the team waiving a trio of undrafted free agents and adding a former undrafted free agent running back who had most recently played in the UFL.
Yes, DK Metcalf can do that, but Metcalf has evolved as a route runner and a receiver, and a big part of his success as a receiver in recent seasons has come as a result of the mismatches his size and speed create with the ball in his hand in that very same underneath area he so often helps produce for other receivers. Now, it’s certainly possible that the Hawks new coaching staff doesn’t mind using Metcalf as a $24M per year decoy, but that seems rather inefficient.
