The Seahawks might be following the Patriots pattern of getting tight ends heavily involved in the offense. Will Dissly has been scary good in a scary short amount of time in Seattle. Dissly has played 10 games in two seasons but in that short amount of game availability he has shown enough promise to be a very good tight end, both blocking and receiving.
But maybe Seattle thinks that won’t happen and that is one reason they chose Stanford’s Colby Parkinson in the 2020 NFL Draft. Or maybe the Seahawks don’t see Parkinson as a tight end at all but more as a big receiver.
