I don't think Zach is going to IR.. but I wonder if Willson is about to be released.
Release Willson? Why? Cuz he dropped a couple passes? 5th round draft pick who was the #2 TE in college behind Vance McDonald who was selected in the 2nd round by 49ers, who has only 2 catches this year. How about we let the kid play out his rookie contract before we dump him to the curb. Not too many guys in the league that are 6'5", 250 and run a 4.50 40yd. He is a project that has been tossed into the starting roll in both his first 2 years. Give him a little break huh?
OVERVIEW
At Rice's pro day, Willson ran the 40-yard dash in 4.57 and 4.46 seconds. He had a 38-inch vertical jump and a 10-foot-2 broad jump. He ran the short shuttle in 4.28 seconds and the three-cone drill in 7.04 seconds. He performed 23 lifts of 225 pounds on the bench press. All of those totals would have been among the top 10 in his position group at the combine.
Her's Pete's quote from last year:
"He's been a fantastic draft pick for us," Seattle coach Pete Carroll said about Willson. "To play so early and contribute in such a variety of ways, and he's really just getting started. He's a tremendous prospect for us for the years to come."
