Even before the Seattle Seahawks lost second year tight end Will Dissly to a season ending injury early in the 2019 season, they had promoted Jacob Hollister to the active roster from the practice squad. The Seahawks acquired Hollister from the New England Patriots in exchange for a seventh round pick in the 2020 draft during the offseason, and he quickly became one of Russell Wilson’s favorite targets.
Hollister finished third on the team with 59 targets, 41 catches and 349 yards as his receiving skills were put to good use in offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer’s tight end friendly version of the Air Coryell offense.
