Dee Eskridge Enjoying Fresh Start for Year Two In Seattle

Good afternoon, 12s. Here’s a look at what’s out there for today – Thursday, August 25 – about your Seattle Seahawks.

Dee Eskridge Readies For Preseason Finale

Seattle Seahawks wideout Dee Eskridge saw limited action as a rookie in 2021, after being selected No. 56 overall in the 2021 NFL Draft. Instead of getting reps this summer, he’s been hampered by a hamstring injury that’s caused him to miss much of camp and the Seahawks first two preseason matchups. Nevertheless, Eskridge has remained focused on returning to the team, and his outlook for year two is leading the way.

In 2021, Eskridge played in 10 games, catching 10 passes for 64 yards and a touchdown for the Seahawks. While Eskridge showed he belonged on the field, a concussion sidelined him for the majority of his rookie campaign.

Instead of the summer being a fresh start to prepare for two years, Eskridge suffered a hamstring injury in June. But instead of doubting himself, Eskridge has adapted the glass-half-full mindset, attacking every day with the mindset of getting healthy and getting better.

“Just basically being behind the scenes, understand the playbook more, understand some of things that I could be getting without being on the field,” said Eskridge. “So, I feel like I got a lot of mental strength.”
