As Seahawks Newcomer Tory Horton spoke to reporters after practice on Monday, the elder was the corner of Riq Woolen by yelling, “Jerry Rice Jr.! Jerry Rice Jr.!” On a young broad and bend head in training camps.
Horton has been the buzz of the Seahawks camp and played every day that let him push him on a regular role.
“I see the same as you are,” said coach Mike Macdonald this weekend when asked about Horton on the team’s official website. “A wise man, Steve Smith sr., Once said:” Newcomer has to make a play a day to give himself a name. “He is doing it.
Knee injury shortened the end of Horton’s college period in Colorado State and forced him to miss spring years. But since Camp opened, he has climbed the depth chart by playing after the game.
By building on his momentum, Horton last week jumped to get the first team representative and pushed Jake Bobo’s favorite fan in the beak order.
Seahawks improved their wide room during this season, trading with DK Metcalf to Pittsburgh and releasing a long -lasting elder Tyler Lockett. The club signed Cooper Kupp and Field-Stretcher Marquez Valdes-Scantling to add Jaxon Smith-Njigba. They chose Horton in the fifth round and added Ricky White III to the seventh round of the draft.
Newcomer, Nick Emmanwori’s security, called Horton “Steal of the Draft”, but The Wideout does not pay attention to him.
“I’m away from the media,” he said. “I’ve just focused on myself. I heard it (about being stealing the draft), it’s a bit of a motivation for me. At the end of the day, God had his plan for me and I’m happy that I ended up in Seattle. There were many teams that knocked me because it’s the best thing I hear.
Horton went from a fight for a roster to a virtual lock to make the first 53.
There are snapshots to work in Seahawks receiver Corps, even before you look at Kupp’s injury history. If Horton continues to shine in the front page, he will earn that representative.
