Former Seahawk, Super Bowl champ says Seattle has NFL’s best wide receiver trio

We’re unsure how for much longer DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett, and Jaxon Smith-Njigba will keep collectively, however within the eyes of 1 former Seattle Seahawks working again turned analyst, that is one of the best broad receiver trio within the NFL.

On NFL Whole Entry, Robert Turbin went to bat for his former staff.

“What’s incorrect with y’all? It’s clearly the Seattle Seahawks,” Turbin mentioned. “I’m going dwelling to the place the place I belong—a little bit Daughtry lyric for you.”

“Initially, we already know DK [Metcalf], it’s no secret. Three out of the final 4 seasons over 1,000 yards receiving. Tyler Lockett over 1,000 yards 4 out of the final 5 [seasons]. Two of these seasons they each had 1,000 yards collectively.

“Then we get to final 12 months’s rookie, Jaxon Smith-Njigba,” Turbin continued. “In the beginning of the season they couldn’t get him going. Didn’t even know get him the ball first. They have been throwing swing screens to him, making an attempt to get him the ball within the fly sweeps they usually lastly determined ‘Hey, let him play broad receiver.’ He goes on to have 63 catches for over 650 yards, that’s virtually double the catches Odell Beckham had final season. I really like Odell, however he hasn’t had 600 yards receiving since 2019.

“The perfect broad receiver trio in soccer proper now? The Seattle Seahawks.”

JSN really had 628 yards and never over 650, however who am I to disagree with Turbo? That may be the primary time I’ve ever heard Daughtry referenced in any NFL evaluation.

Clearly the opposite comparability level was the Miami Dolphins, who simply signed OBJ however have already got the impossibly speedy duo of Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle. Since we’re particularly speaking about broad receivers and never receiving tight ends like Travis Kelce, maybe there’s an argument to be made! The Houston Texans might take the highest spot with Stefon Diggs, Nico Collins, and Tank Dell. Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, and Jauan Jennings are one other trio within the combine, however we don’t know if the San Francisco 49ers will find yourself dealing one in every of Aiyuk or Samuel earlier than the season begins. If Keenan Allen hasn’t aged 20 years and Rome Odunze is nearly as good as marketed, these two coupled with DJ Moore may make received a fantastic trio in Chicago.

Individually it’s arduous (learn: not possible) to make a case for any of Metcalf, Lockett, or JSN to be a top-5 broad receiver, however by way of depth and skillset that is nearly as good a trio as any of the others.
