4. Jermaine Kearse – WR

The addition of Jimmy Graham will help all of the Seahawks’ pass catchers, but I believe Jermaine Kearse will benefit the most. Graham will draw double teams all season, and Kearse is going to be a handful to cover.

The former University of Washington star caught just 38 balls for 537 yards and 1 touchdown in 2014. However, he really came into his own during the postseason. Kearse went off against the Carolina Panthers in the NFC Divisional Round, snagging 3 balls for 129 yards and 1 touchdown. He did nothing through the first four quarters against the Packers in the NFC Championship, but generated enough separation to haul in a 35-yard touchdown pass in overtime to sent the Seahawks to the Super Bowl. Against the Patriots in the Super Bowl, Kearse caught 3 passes for 45 yards, including one of the greatest catches in ‘Hawks history.

Kearse has done next to nothing in the preseason, accumulating 1 catch for a measly 4 yards. Despite his slow start, I am predicting 60 catches for 950 yards and 7 touchdowns for Kearse in 2015.
