Back at wide receiver, Tanner McEvoy showcasing a unique skill set in Seattle

Another year, another transition for the former Badgers standout — but he’s making the most of it.

Before the final snap of the Seattle Seahawks’ first preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Tanner McEvoy had a feeling the ball was coming to him.

Seconds were ticking off the clock as the offense was attempting to line up for one last shot at the end zone. McEvoy, the former Wisconsin Badgers athlete who played three positions during his time in Madison, was lined up to the far right at wide receiver against Chiefs cornerback Malcolm Jackson.

Watching the replays, former TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin looked twice at the nearly 6’6 McEvoy against the 5’11 Jackson — a rookie from Charleston Southern.
