Seahawks OTAs: Geno Smith expects a big year for Dee Eskridge
Seattle Seahawks
; with Jaxon Smith-Njigba slated to jump right into the role of WR3 behind Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, the talented but injury-plagued third-year pass catcher has a steep hill to climb in order to make a dent on this roster. While his track record is marred by the aforementioned health issues, his raw talent has never been in question. This is assuredly a frustrating spot to be in for the young receiver, who undoubtedly believes that his best days as a pro are still ahead of him.
“I really see the growth in his mindset,” Smith said. “He wants it. He’s always wanted it and always had that ability, but I think he’s obviously had some setbacks, and I can see just in his mental makeup he’s ready to take that next step. It’s my job to help. That’s why I want to be there with him. He’s working his butt off. He’s super explosive out here on the field; he’s one of the most explosive guys I’ve ever seen. If we can get him where I think he’ll be, it’ll help us out a lot.
