12th Man Rising: Seahawks receiver Dee Eskridge just got very valuable due to NFL rule change


Could this explain why they kept Eskridge? I remember some wondering why they kept him and it was speculated that there might be something the OC and Special Teams coach saw.

  1. there are plenty of fast guys that can take advantage of the new kick off rules. I doubt this would be the reason to keep him. There are bound to be 5th round rookies that can take kick offs and be just as fast.

  2. So if i read that correctly, fair catches are kind of a thing of the past? No more getting blown up after catching a kickoff too? It may also incentivize touchbacks for the kicking team.

  3. You mean the guy who in 2022 averaged less yardage on kick returns than a touchback would’ve given us?
