Seahawks’ D’Wayne Eskridge: Looks healthy in practice
D’Wayne Eskridge has been healthy and productive at practice this week, according to Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times.Condotta Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times that the rookie second-round pick prefers to be called “Dee” rather than “D’Wayne”, though the Seattle Seahawks still have him listed under the latter name on their official website. He’s making a late push for the No. 3 receiver role in Seattle, perhaps able to overcome a three-week stint on the PUP list given that Freddie Swain is his main competition. The Seahawks under Pete Carroll have sometimes used a rotation for that No. 3 role, but the decision to use a second-round pick on Eskridge suggests he’s expected to win the spot full-time sooner than later. The rookie could make his first appearance in a Seahawks uniform during Saturday night’s exhibition matchup with the Chargers.

Seahawks’ D’Wayne Eskridge: Going to ‘Hawks in second round
The Seattle Seahawks selected D’Wayne Eskridge in the second round of the 2021 NFL Draft, 56th overall.Eskridge was a highly productive player Western Michigan and offers intriguing speed, but this generally seems like a reach pick. Eskridge (5-foot-9, 190 pounds) is smallish, and, while fast, his 4.40-second 40 time isn’t quite in the burner category you’d like to see from a smaller, older prospect like Eskridge, who already turned 24 this spring. If he earns snaps, he should be a matter of fantasy interest in Seattle if only because of Russell Wilson’s presence, but it’s not a given he fully displaces Freddie Swain right off the bat for the WR3 role.
