Seahawks rookie D'Wayne Eskridge brings Tyreek Hill-like package of speed, diverse skills

SEATTLE -- NFL teams usually don't make public comparisons between their draft picks and current players, wary of the unrealistic expectations that can create. So when Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider was telling reporters about Western Michigan wide receiver D'Wayne Eskridge after taking him in the second round, he stopped himself just as he was about to liken Seattle's top pick to someone else.

"You can tell, he's got -- I don't want to compare him to people, so I guess I won't," Schneider said. 'But he's got some really cool attributes."

Schneider wouldn't reveal the mystery player when pressed, so we can only take educated guesses as to who he had in mind.
