The snap counts are in for the Seattle Seahawks’ 37-27 win over the Carolina Panthers, and there was a marked increase in playing time for undrafted rookie wide receiver Jake Bobo.
Bobo played 30 snaps combined out of a possible 123 over the first two weeks of the season. That number shot up to 31 out of 75 snaps against the Panthers, putting him only two snaps behind first-round rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba. One asterisk to put on Bobo is that unlike JSN, he was a part of the kneeldown group, so he had 27 true snaps. It’s still a significant increase in offensive involvement, and while he was rewarded with his first NFL touchdown, the bigger picture is how much he was used in the run game.
