It’s been a month since the 2018 NFL Draft concluded, and going over the Seattle Seahawks’ nine-player haul, I believe there’s one aspect of this year’s group that has been overlooked. Yes, Rashaad Penny is supposed to be Seattle’s new starting running back and part of the answer for a woeful rushing attack, but he and several others from this class also figure to contribute on special teams, a unit that has been largely mediocre-to-bad in three of the last four years.
Penny returned seven kickoffs for touchdowns at San Diego State, and also added a punt return for a score in his senior year.
