The only time to consider redshirting Kasen Williams was his freshman year but, like many players, Kasen got Sarked.
He was a 5 star recruit who was plenty talented enough to contribute as a true frosh. Not many programs in the cuntry would have redshirted him as a frosh, if any.
Have to love all the talent scouts on this forum. How much separation do you need in the Red Zone, on a corner fade or an inside slant? Same play goes to Kasen in the SuperBowl and I bet Kasen fights for the ball and doesn't get punked.
"Pete Carroll was very high on WR Kasen Williams. Sounds like he will get a shot."
Kasen Williams left a lasting impression: Coach Pete Carroll said after Sunday’s workout that the team hopes to sign the former Husky and Skyline High receiver to a free agent deal after he participated here as a tryout player. I wrote about Williams for the Sunday paper (you can find that story below) and Carroll talked about him following Sunday’s workout. “He looked very good,” Carroll said. “We’ve known him for a long time through the recruiting process and our expectations are that he is a really accomplished receiver. Great athlete getting off the ground and all and he showed all of that . He looked like he fit. So we’ll try to get him back.’’ Seattle has an obvious spot on the 90-man for a receiver after Austin Hill — who as signed as an undrafted free agent — did not pass his physical. So it won’t be a surprise to hear in the next day or so that the team has signed Williams to the 90-man roster. The Seahawks will have a pretty competitive group at receiver with the addition of draftee Tyler Lockett — who was probably the most consistently impressive player here — to the veteran group of Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse, etc. (Lockett had the highlight play of Sunday’s practice on a deep reception for a touchdown from R.J. Archer) But the Seahawks are obviously intrigued by Williams and appear ready to give him a shot.
So you're saying he might make a 90 man roster?
Well don't I feel foolish.
I don't think you are completely off about Kasen, but you've been a Kasen basher (ok, a criticizer) for a few years, even before the injury. I vaguely remember you and others saying he would run a 4.8 or 4.9.
Nice catch. I would love nothing more than to be wrong about Kasen. He seems to be a class act and a guy who really BLEEDS purple. I would love to see him succeed, especially with the Hawks. He was just always severely overrated by the doogs.

I hope he gets to have a redshirt year in the NFL (practice squad) with the Hawks.
