Like most of you, the Harvin deal caught me totally off guard (what a testament to this organization's ability to keep things in house) ... but as the stories continue to surface, it's clear why this had to be. I'm one who when moves like this happen tends to quickly turn the page and begin to ask the question, "OK, what's next?"
I'd watched these highlight reels back in April around draft time ... and I guess I personally needed to watch them again just for therapy and as a reminder to me of just what this team still has in the stable. If you're like me and have forgotten, here is a reminder of what the Hawks have in Paul Richardson and Kevin Norwood.
There are a lot of amazing highlights in both of these clips which underscore that in Richardson and Norwood, the Seahawks actually have quite a bit of untapped potential at the WR position ...
Paul Richardson Highlights ...

Positives: Very good speed (ran a 4.33 at the combine) and acceleration after the catch, has some shiftiness and change of direction (nowhere near Golden Tate levels though), excellent leaping ability (38" vertical), can adjust his body well to poorly thrown balls. Potential deep threat.
Negatives: Has a bit of a slight build, so needs to bulk up some. Could get jammed at the line of scrimmage by more physical corners. Could possibly get out-muscled by more physical DB's on jump balls.
Kevin Norwood (and Mike Evans) Highlights ...

Another highlight reel on Kevin Norwood that's on the Patriots site ...

Positives: At 6'2" 200Lbs, is solidly built and is a strong receiver. Has excellent hands and good leaping ability. Makes tough catches in tight coverage. Has good overall football instincts, finds holes in coverage well, and works to get open. Looks to be a Possession receiver in the Bobby Engram mold. The coaching staff at Alabama absolutely loved this kid.
Negatives: Doesn't have breakaway speed and has difficulty at times separating himself from tight coverage. Has had issues breaking tackles in the past.
If Condotta is right, Richardson and Norwood could see action tomorrow. Norwood has been healthy for some time now, but of course hasn't been able to get on the field because of the numbers crunch. Now that Percy is gone, I'm hoping that both of these guys are active and that we get a chance to see what they can actually do on an NFL field.
