Jake Bobo hopes to break the Seahawks preseason receiver curse

Every year we do this.

It’s fun though, right? We’re having fun.

The Seattle Seahawks looked sharp in their preseason opener, defeating the Minnesota Vikings 24-13. One of the standouts was undrafted hopeful Jake Bobo, at the now-infamous position of Seattle wide receiver.

An unbreakable tradition since Kasen Williams in 2017, has been for a Seahawks wideout to dazzle throughout the preseason, get compared to Doug Baldwin, and then not make the team*.

*Or be John Ursua, to make one catch and fail to convert, getting cut later.

We’ve also seen this with Jazz Ferguson and Cade Johnson, who at least is on the current active roster but didn’t make the initial 53 back in 2021.
