Rashid Shaheed rewrote the script the day he joined the Seahawks

Is Rashid Shaheed a better football player when used as a special teams threat? Considering everything he's done for the Seattle Seahawks in that position group since being acquired via trade mid-season, isn't it a fair question?

Shaheed was brought over in the trade for the reason many initially thought: to provide Sam Darnold with another wide-receiving threat, given that Cooper Kupp was struggling with injuries early on and had seemingly taken a step back. Instead, Shaheed has not thrived as a deep threat, nor as a wideout really at all.

The long-time New Orleans Saints speedster has instead jump-started the Seahawks' special teams in the best way possible, and the impact has been nothing but spectacular.
