John Ursua is making the Seattle Seahawks final 53. The slot receiver has had an impressive preseason, to such an extent that it would be shocking to see Ursua play in Exhibition Game 4. Cutting the 7th round rookie would be disappointment in a totally different stratosphere to the level of departures like Kasen Williams or Troymaine Pope.
Shedding Ursua would be a miscalculation. The former Hawaii offensive star has played with prototypical Seattle slot receiver traits. As Field Gulls’ Mookie Alexander pointed out: “At 5’9” and about 180 lbs, he has a fairly similar physical and athletic profile to #89, who just happened to wear #15 in his rookie season when he was a preseason star.
