Horton the next Jerry Rice?

[gmor]

Against Woolen, most receivers are Jerry Rice

Kinda harsh.

 

[glenwo2]

So we'll end up with the next Rice and the next Largent on the same team, which will turn Darnold into Montana? That sounds like good news for our offense.

Why not? Kyle Shannahan once compared Darnold to Steve Young so anything's possible.

Kinda harsh.

Is it?
After his rookie year he's been pretty much a JAG.

every year in Man to Man coverage he is near the top of the league.

He can cover. It’s his tackling that’s the issue. He tackles about as good as Shaq shooting free throws.

Horton is impressing coaches at camp, so much so that Valdez-Scantling has been demoted, for now.

"A Seahawks rookie’s rapid rise has veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling’s roster spot in question. If not jeopardy. The former top deep threat for Aaron Rodgers in Green Bay has gone from Seattle’s starting offense to begin training camp with fellow wide receivers Cooper Kupp and Jaxon Smith-Njigba to demoted. Emerging, 22-year-old Tory Horton, the Seahawks’ fth-round draft choice this spring, has taken Valdes-Scantling’s job catching passes from new starting quarterback Sam Darnold 12 practices into camp."

That’s great news for Bobo!!!!

Nobody has beat him out. So there's that....

I get that training camp is eternal optimism and draft picks have a way of not working out but...it's not too crazy to think that in two years, we have six starters on offense from this draft class. Milroe, Arroyo, Horton, Martinez, Ouzts, and Zabel. I have to think that's never happened in NFL history, and it's not that big of a stretch for it to happen.

 

[SPOHAWK]

Woolen referred to Horton as Rice Jr. I fully expect him to be the wr2 when Kupp inevitably goes down with injury. Is Horton that good?

"Kupp inevitably goes down with injury" wow ok, Dark Cloud!

The 1983 Bears draft class included these six players:
Jimbo Covert, Willie Gault, Mike Richardson, Dave Duerson, Tom Thayer, and Richard Dent
These six were major contributors to the 1985 Super Bowl winning Bears.

So yeah it has happened. It’s rare, but clearly helps a team in the win column.

We will see about this Seahawks draft class. I have high hopes that it will in fact be historical. You left Emmanwouri off your list. This draft class could pass that great Bears draft!

Yeah, but that Bears draft class is a mix of offense and defense. We potentially have six future starters on offense alone. That's wild. And five of them (leaving out Milroe who will probably still see the field) could get starts this year. I get that rookies have a way of not working out once the games start up for real...but even so, these guys have all been consistently getting great press. In fact, Zabel is the guy we hear least about.

Kinda interesting the one example so far of so many draft picks contributing was a historic Super Bowl icon.

Nice to see this young WR is gaining some confidence and at least appears to be a pretty good draft selection so far.

Jrry Rice Jr.??? C'mon, let's not let the hyperbole overtake our collective common sense. Nice that Woolen is pumping Horton up though.

 

[MontanaHawk05]

Valdez-Scantling is enough of a drop machine that him being beaten out for a roster spot is about as much of an endorsement of Horton as excelling opposite Riq Woolen.

MVS has been a starter for years in the NFL so I'd say it's a great sign that Horton has already jumped him apparently.
The Jerry Rice stuff is silly though.

 

[IndyHawk]

He can cover. It’s his tackling that’s the issue. He tackles about as good as Shaq shooting free throws.

Right the tackling is horrible, I saw him facing a guy in the endzone
and he had no clue where the ball was, it was an easy TD.
