RENTON, Wash. -- There’s a fascinating story brewing in Seattle, where an undrafted rookie wide receiver with a pronounced athletic limitation is playing his way onto the Seahawks’ 53-man roster.
Jake Bobo is not fast. In fact, it’s almost unheard of for NFL receivers to run as slow as the 4.99 he clocked in the 40-yard dash in March. But that hasn’t stopped Bobo from being one of the Seattle Seahawks’ standout players this summer. He constantly gets open in practice, he’s made a few big plays over the first two preseason games and he’s even getting some first-team reps while Seattle has been short-handed at receiver.
