While WR George Pickens continued making jaw-dropping sideline catches and TE Pat Freiermuth was a trusted underneath target, QB Russell Wilson offered a special shoutout to WR Calvin Austin III for a breakout third NFL season. Joining the Pat McAfee Show Wednesday afternoon, Wilson credited Austin for his performance.
“George Pickens is such a freak out there,” Wilson told the show. “Pat Freiermuth I thought had a great year. I think the biggest star to the season was Calvin Austin. His emergence and his work ethic. Those guys allow you to cook in a way.”
Austin easily had his most productive season and has rebounded since seeing his rookie year wiped out by a summer foot injury.
