Seahawks on tape: Tight end Jacob Hollister is a mismatch talent

Tight End Jacob Hollister earned rave reviews at OTAs from Head Coach Pete Carroll and Offensive Coordinator Brian Schottenheimer. “He’s made a really good impression coming out”, revealed Carroll while Schottenheimer added “He’s been a great acquisition.”

Entering his third year in the NFL, Hollister was added in a trade with the New England Patriots. Costing only a conditional 2020 7th-round pick, Hollister will clearly be fighting for a roster spot all through the pre-season.

Yet Hollister’s arrival makes a ton of sense, as do his early flashes.

John Schneider decided to not pick a tight end in the 2019 draft despite added competition being required at the spot.
