DETROIT — You shouldn’t be reading about Michael Dickson in a newspaper or on a website. You should be hearing about him while sitting around a campfire or throwing one back at a saloon.
He is less than halfway through his rookie season, but the Seahawks punter already has gone full-blown legend.
You already knew what he could do with his foot. The pitching-wedge like spin he puts on balls that land on the 2-yard line. The drop-kick kickoffs he repeatedly employed against the Rams. Shoot, an analytics site said his regular-season debut vs. Denver may have been the best game a punter has ever had, and that he was worth nearly 10 points for Seattle by himself.
