Seattle Seahawks: Addressing the wide receiver position

Jaron Brown

The former Arizona Cardinals wide receiver was brought in by the Seahawks during the offseason. Although Brown was a part-time player in Arizona, he was able to produce whenever he was given a chance to play. Finally getting a chance at some consistent playing time, Brown set career highs across the board in every receiving category. He also put these numbers up despite only playing seven games with starting quarterback Carson Palmer.

Brown has legit 4.4 speed and it has shown by his abilities as a deep threat receiver. Brown averaged 15.4 yards per catch in his final season in Arizona. After being stuck behind the likes of Larry Fitzgerald, John Brown and Michael Floyd, Brown will get a chance to start on the outside for the Seahawks.

While Brown has had some talented receivers playing in front of him, injuries have kept him off the field. He has dealt with a handful of lower body injuries since he came into the league, and most recently, tore his ACL in 2016. The numbers he put up last year coming off an ACL tear are impressive, but the key was that he was able to stay on the field and play in all 16 games.

Brown should be even better this year, being two years removed from ACL surgery. The undrafted wide receiver out of Clemson will be given every opportunity to take a starting spot for the Seahawks. Brown could be the perfect replacement for Paul Richardson on the outside.
