2. He's versatile.
Eskridge said he's planning on coming to Seattle and learning all three receiver positions, but his versatility goes beyond where he can line up as a receiver. Eskridge was a star running back in high school, and also spent a little bit of time at cornerback in college. He was also the MAC Special Teams Player of the Year as a senior, starring as a kick returner who average 28.8 yards per return.
While Eskridge will come in looking to establish himself as Seattle's No. 3 receiver, he also said he plans on making his mark on special teams, something the Seahawks already talked to him about.
"Even if they didn't talk to me about special teams, I'm going in there making a name for myself regardless," he said.
And that experience at cornerback also helps him as a receiver, Eskridge said: "It just really slowed the game down for me. When I'm going against a DB, I think to myself, 'What could me uncomfortable if I was going against a receiver of my stature?'… That helped me a lot going to the offensive side again in 2020."
