Seattle’s wide receivers were remarkably effective last year – and not just Doug Baldwin. When Russell Wilson passed to those guys, good things tended to happen.
Among all wide receivers with at least 50 targets (and there were 86 of them), only 9 caught over 72 percent of the passes thrown their way. The Seahawks were the only team with three of them.
