Welcome Wayne T.

Post by Michael K. » Fri Jul 28, 2023 8:42 pm

Call me a homer, and I do bleed purple and gold, but I like this signing. He was fun to watch last year.

My guess is he will be a practice squad guy, but in the NFL, and with the Seahawks history of RB health since Beastmode? he might be starting by week six!

Always amazes me how guys that look so good in college are barely fringe PS guys in the NFL.

Just goes to show how difficult it is to make it to the big league. In any sport.

Wayne T. impressed me as a being good at all aspects - running inside, outside, catching, blocking, ball security - but not necessarily excel at any of them, except perhaps that last one. obviously will need to show some special teams acumen if he's gonna stick in the league.

That's a good point, keep over looking special teams. It's an important role to fill, takes talent. Yeah, it's how you stick

I really liked him last year. Totally seemed underrated and I'd love to see him succeed. Seems like a long shot, though, he didn't have nearly the 'wow' factor of about 10 other Husky RBs that never made it in the league.

I just don't see how he cracks the top 4 unless they go with him over Dallas?

It's going to be about special teams, i guess the core of special teams tends to be linebackers and safeties. So it might be a bit of a reach there
