RENTON — At some point in the last day, someone has maybe reminded Gary Jennings that the greatest receiver in Seahawks history was a fourth-round pick who was also let go by the team that originally drafted him before he ever played a down in the NFL.
Steve Largent, pick number 117 overall in 1976, overcame the early hiccup of being given up on by Houston and then traded to the Seahawks to forge a pretty good career for himself.
Jennings, pick number 120 in the 2019 draft, was waived by the Seahawks on Wednesday, a career that began with the enthusiasm and promise that greets all draft picks but has now hit, at least for the moment, something of a speed bump.
