He probably didn't have the quickness to thrive, but he was absolutely an NFL player his sophomore and junior year. When he was a freshman, he was at times the best WR on the team, even when they had Kearse, Aguilar, and Johnson. He was the only player on the entire offense that did anything against Oregon in 2011.priapism said:Kasen's strides were way too huge - reminded me of someone about to triple-jump...his ability to change direction instantly was always limited. + with his slowness, I never thought he would get very far in the NFL, even before the injury.
Kasen really fucked up by not redshirting last year. He maybe should have thought about graduating and transferring considering the QB and OL situation at UW.
He was considered an NFL talent before the injury and was listed on top 100 lists before the season.
Yeah... and he was also Scout's #2 receiver in the country coming out of high school. #22 recruit overall. Can you say 'vested interest'?RoadDawg55 said:dnc said:

#91 on this and before the season I remember he was in the 30's on Rob Rang's list.
The NFL noticed his career 3.3 catches/ game, along with his inability to get open. His NFL career will live forever on Sark's wiki page. -
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.

He may be the best 90 man roster wr the Hawks have ever signed.

Fixed. Sad really...I think he would have had a decent nfl career before the injury. Should have redshirted.sarktastic said:He may be the best 91st man on the 90 man roster ever.

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.dnc said:

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.RoadDawg55 said:

And if he actually is healthy he has a shot to make the team. He put up the bulk of his stats in the last few games of the season which is another indication that a redshirt year would have helped him a lot. -
I am 100% on bored with him needing a redshirt year.HeretoBeatmyChest said:

If he turns into a stud for the Seahawks I will happily retract everything I've said about him. I don't think a player who's never demonstrated an ability to get open will do that. Hope I'm wrong. His times were better than I expected, so that's promising. -
The only time to consider redshirting Kasen Williams was his freshman year but, like many players, Kasen got Sarked.
-
In hindsight, KW should've redshirted in 2014 but either he, CP, or both wanted to move things along.
I hope he gets to have a redshirt year in the NFL (practice squad) with the Hawks.sarktastic said: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.sarktastic said:The only time to consider redshirting Kasen Williams was his freshman year but, like many players, Kasen got Sarked.

Did anyone else think the seahawks would try him out? I feel like hes kind of the story of a lot of seahawks. Just more.... mangled
