Waldron-22: Dee Eskridge has a career day
Photo by Lindsey Wasson/Getty ImagesDee Eskridge had three catches for the Seattle Seahawks during their home victory over the Arizona Cardinals last Sunday. According to StatHead, this is only the second time in his young career that he has accomplished this feat, with the other happening last December against fellow NFC West rivals, the San Francisco 49ers. This literally doubled his number of receptions on the season, and more than tripled his yardage; up until Sunday, he had 3 catches for 16 yards. All three of his touches went for first downs, and he ended the game with a new personal best in yards-per-catch (13.0). While these may seem like pedestrian feats, the bigger story here is simply that Eskridge made a significant impact in a game and left the stadium seemingly healthy. While the second-year wideout has a ways to go before he lives up to his 2nd round draft status, games like this are a great step on the way to becoming a legitimate third option behind Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf. Roll the tape!
