Snap counts for McEvoy for the year:
View attachment 2
Note, many of his snaps early in the season were at TE to spell Graham and to fill in for Vannett.
His snap counts have been rising pretty well, with the Bucs being a bit of an outlier.
Seattle looks like they are bringing him along just as we'd hope. Kind of slowly but now giving him more opportunities as he's been earning them. If we consider that his experience was extremely limited coming in, and he wasn't even settled on offense or defense until partway through TC (and is he a TE, WR or both even now?) -- if we consider all that then I think we can conclude that McEvoy is going to be a player for us going forward.
I don't know if he'll take Kearse's snaps. Although consider:

Richardson's snaps:
You can see both Kearse and Richardson's snap counts have dropped from the early in the season while McEvoy's have increased. So it looks like he's getting more looks and should conceivably continue the trend. Especially as he's delivering very well despite modest opportunity.
