Penny, who returned seven kickoffs for touchdowns at San Diego State, figures to be heavily involved in special teams as a rookie for the Seahawks. But as a first-round pick, he’s also going to be a key cog on offense as Seattle tries to reignite its rushing attack. If Grayson wants to find a way to sneak onto the Seahawks 53-man roster this year, proving he can thrive as a return man would improve his chances exponentially.
It’s also worth noting Seattle lost over 30 percent of its overall receiving production from a year ago when receiver Paul Richardson and tight end Jimmy Graham left as free agents in March. In addition, the Seahawks didn’t draft any wide receivers, creating ample opportunities for young players like Grayson to carve out contributing roles on offense in 2018.
If the NFL goes ahead and makes the proposed changes to the kicking game, Brian Schneider will need to carry more returners. Taking some of the load off of Tyler Lockett will be vital to the offense ..... especially to it's improvisation.
