SEAHAWKS: Williams was a Washington prep football star in Sammamish
Friday, August 25, 2017

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Kasen Williams (18) re-
acts to a play against the Minnesota Vikings in the first
half of a preseason game on Aug. 18, 2017, in Seattle.
third preseason game against
Kansas City exceptionally
important for Williams.
Another big game could
make for a quite difficult
decision regarding Williams
when the final cuts are made
next week.
“He has been spectacular.
It is just such an exciting
thing to see because this is a
kid that we know he has this
ability, but he is doing it in
the games, so it’s obvious
you got to keep going to
him,” coach Pete Carroll
said. “We have to see how
long it continues and how
stable that part of our game
can become.”
Where Williams eventu-
ally falls in Seattle’s wide
receiver hierarchy may
ultimately depend on health
and specific attributes. Doug
Baldwin and Tyler Lockett
are roster locks. That also
appears to be the case for
former second-round pick
Paul Richardson, should
he be able to stay healthy.
Seattle is unlikely to part
with a third-round pick like
rookie Amara Darboah and
veteran Jermaine Kearse —
as much as fans locally may
find fault in his game — is
a proven commodity and a
favored target of quarterback
Russell Wilson.
It may come down
to Williams and Tanner
McEvoy for the final spot
if Seattle keeps six wide
receivers. The Seahawks
like McEvoy’s 6-foot-6
frame and his contributions
on special teams, but what
Williams has done so far
may be too tough to ignore.
“Where I am right now
is farther than I was in
high school and college,”
Williams said. “It’s a new
me. It’s a better version.”
It took one drive for
Williams to stand out last
week against Minnesota. He
made a leaping, one-handed
catch for 27 yards, and
followed up with a 1-yard
touchdown catch to cap off
the drive.
What happened on the
ensuing kickoff may have
been even more important.
Racing down the middle
of the field, Williams made
an open-field tackle on
Minnesota returner Jerick
McKinnon after just a
10-yard return. It’s a given
that if Williams makes
the roster he will have to
contribute on special teams.
“It was probably the most
important (thing),” Williams
said of the special teams
play. “Because I know I’ve
been here for two years and
I know that in order to make
this team it’s going to be on
special teams. You can make
all the offensive plays in
the world but if the special
teams doesn’t happen it’s
going to be hard to make the
team.”
Williams was one of
the top high school players
in the country at Skyline
High
in
Sammamish,
Washington. He was a star
at Washington, only to see
his career derailed by a
major foot injury. He found
a home on Seattle’s practice
squad each of the past two
years, but other little injuries
limited his opportunities on
the active roster. Williams
has appeared in three regu-
lar-season games with one
catch in his career.
This offseason meant
changes. Williams altered
his diet, relying heavily on
shakes and juices containing
numerous vegetables that
Williams wouldn’t otherwise
eat. The dietary changes
seem to be working. He’s
down around 10 pounds and
feels his body is recovering
quicker from practices and
games.
Williams wants his career
to be in Seattle. But he’s also
realistic and knows that if
the Seahawks do release him
late next week there may be
opportunities elsewhere.
“This is where I want to
play. This is love and I’ve
put in so much work here,”
Williams said. “But at the
end of the day if it doesn’t
work out here I do believe
there will be an opportunity
elsewhere.”
