Did Seahawks' Jake Bobo Solidify Roster Spot vs. Cowboys?
Seattle Seahawks undrafted rookie receiver Jake Bobo furthered his case to make the final 53-man roster after another impressive showing, this time in Saturday's 22-14 preseason win against the Dallas Cowboys at Lumen Field.
After his three catches, 55 yards, and a touchdown against the Minnesota Vikings in Game 1 of the preseason, Bobo got straight back to work against Dallas.
He caught two passes for 43 yards, with the highlight being a 28-yard reception down the left sideline on a Geno Smith dime. He also had an impressive effort to chase down a blocked punt late in the fourth quarter, as he showed he can be a cog in the special teams unit as well.
With yet another impressive game under his belt, has Bobo done enough to solidify his spot on the Seahawks roster? One would think so now.
With "Bobo-mania" now in full flow for Seattle thanks to back-to-back games that have his stat line reading six catches for 98 yards and a touchdown, it feels like a formality that he would make up part of offensive coordinator Shane Waldron's offense this season.
While Bobo was playing his way into regular-season calculations, other rookies in Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Zach Charbonnet also showed their talent in a first half that was dominated by Seattle's draft class.
Smith-Njigba caught a 48-yard bomb from Smith as he ended his night's work with three catches for 58 yards while running back Charbonnet broke loose for a 29-yard run as he sliced through the Cowboys' defensive line and wreaked havoc in the secondary.
Preseason is the time for rookies to either announce themselves as roster-worthy or to fade into the distance, and for Seattle's three in Bobo, Smith-Njigba, and Charbonnet, the trio could add another level of spice to an already scorching Seahawks offense.
