Shead the best athlete on the Seahawks?

[hieroglyphics]

ESPN seems to think so.

Yea, I dont know what Sheil was thinking there. I think he might have not understood the assignment.

Sheil's reasoning is in line with a lot of the other reporters. Some take it from a pure football standpoint, while others talk about the chosen player's success in other sports.

Shead is an interesting choice with a track background and competition in decathlons. Russell Wilson would be a strong choice for his baseball prowess or Jimmy Graham being a D-1 basketball player.

So it seems that they he is using the Athlete term to describe people who are athletes in multiple sports. I guess when I think Athlete, I think the most physically and mentally gifted in that particular sport. To each their own I guess.

I kind of get this. How many different positions have we seen Shead in doing a decent job? He will be an excellent corner by the start of next season based on what he's done so far. Out of nowhere one of my favourites this year

 

[Rat]

Should have been Hauschka.

 

[McGruff]

Shead is a physical freak. When you look at a guy who is pretty darn big for his position, really fast, and has amazing hops, Shead fits the bill.

Over the Ginja Ninja Warrior?

 

[RussB]

Hes very fast for his size, but seattles team is filled with great athletes like chancellor and thomas so its tough to say whos th best "athlete" on the team.

 

[daveyoung52]

Who was that hurdler, played for the 49ers ? It 'll come to me.

 

[daveyoung52]

Sorry,thinking about it,you have to catch the ball first,then hurdle people.

 

[McGruff]

Yet, Shead has a better athletic profile than both of them . . .

 

[themunn]

I'd give him it based purely on his ankle tackle on the Vikings end around. Damn that was impressive

 

[kobebryant]

Some interesting athletic profiles on this team aside from the obvious in Jimmy and Russ:

I believe Hauschka was a Juco soccer player.

Cooper played collegiate lacrosse.

Luke was a junior national teamer in baseball, played hockey too.

Jon Ryan was an all-conference WR in college.

 

[JKent82]

Kristjan Sokoli! Everyone knows that. Dude's a JJ Watt esque freak.

[LickMyNuts]

I think RW is the best athlete on the team.

But I thought I read somewhere that BJ Daniels was the best athlete. Came from Training Camp I think?

 

[Smellyman]

Elusive, fast, great arm, strong, very good at one sport and great in another.


Still funny to me, if RW was 2 inches taller it would be RW

 

[King Dog]

This has nothing to do with anything, but I still remember an interview Pete did a few years ago. He said in a race of the fastest Hawks players or maybe it was guys in the secondary, Jeremy Lane would be looking over his shoulder at people behind him.

I think he has said Lockette too. Lockette has great track numbers.

I think it was, who would win in a race, Lockette, Lane or Harvin. It would finish in that order.

 

[Ozzy]

The most physically gifted athlete is Christine Michael. Kind of ironic.
