If you’re the Seattle Seahawks, and more specifically Pete Carroll, and you have:
- An All-Pro returner it might not be wise to use on every kick because he’s actually your WR1;
- A need at RB with serious injuries affecting your current top two backs;
- And a special affinity for something you call hidden yards, the oft-overlooked field position gained and lost on the margins of special teams —
— then you’d probably aim to draft a back who can solve all three issues. The ability of DeeJay Dallas to check all the boxes above is reminiscent of all the chatter surrounding Rashaad Penny in 2018.
