Sam’s Film Room: How D’Wayne Eskridge makes the Seahawks much more explosive

In the 2021 NFL Draft, the Seattle Seahawks picked wide receiver D’Wayne Eskridge in the second round. The first thing you notice about Eskridge is that he’s not a physically dominant player. He’s 5-foot-9, weighs 190 pounds, but the key thing when you turn on his tape is his blazing fast speed. He ran a 4.38 at his pro day. His yards after the catch (YAC) ability is also a big part of his identity and what he offers to the Seahawks. Looking at his advanced stats, he was a top three receiver in yards after the catch last season.
