2. D.K. Metcalf

Before some football fans question why D.K. Metcalf is higher on the list than Lockett, keep in mind the rookie wideout could benefit from additional passes thrown in his direction if the Eagles’ defense focuses more attention on the whereabouts of the Seahawks top wideout.

During the draft in April, Seattle knew they had nothing to lose in selecting Metcalf since his massive size and strength made it seemed like he would have all sorts of NFL potential.

The dropped passes have been frustrating at times, but like most rookies currently in their first NFL season, Metcalf should benefit in the long run by learning from his mistakes.

After finishing his rookie campaign with 58 catches for 900 yards to go along with seven touchdowns, one can only imagine what kind of playoff debut Metcalf is ready to display to show once again the Seahawks made the right choice back in the spring.

Thanks to Metcalf, Seattle has been in better shape at the wide receiver position after some uncertainty in the offseason, and the Eagles better be ready to keep the rookie out of the end zone since chances are Wilson will be looking his way a ton on Sunday.
