Good morning, 12s. Here's a look at what's happening today – Tuesday, Aug. 31 – for your Seattle Seahawks.
DK Metcalf Makes The Athletic's All-Under-25 Team
DK Metcalf didn't see the field in the preseason, and for good reason. The third-year wideout is an established star in the NFL -- that will continue in 2021 regardless of whether or not he played in the exhibition games.
Metcalf took a major leap in 2020, with an additional 403 receiving yards, 25 receptions and three touchdowns than his rookie season totals. He also showed up again on the big stage in the postseason -- the Ole Miss alum has 16 catches for 315 yards and three touchdowns in three career playoff games.
The Athletic's Lindsay Jones was the latest NFL analyst to formulate an All-Under-25 Team, and Metcalf was included among the three wide receivers chosen. Damien Lewis was an honorable mention among the offensive linemen. Metcalf also made recent All-Under-25 Teams created by NFL.com, NBC Sports and CBS Sports. Here's what Jones wrote about Metcalf:
"DK Metcalf has shown he's far more than a physical marvel, though his viral highlight from last season wasn't a catch: It was the way he chased down and tackled Arizona safety Budda Baker after an interception. Metcalf is growing into a well-rounded receiver, and the more refined his route-running skills become, the more dangerous a weapon he'll be for Seahawks QB Russell Wilson."
Olympic Gold Medalist Raises 12 Flag At Preseason Game
Seattle native Nevin Harrison -- who won a gold medal in women's canoeing at the 2020 Tokyo Olympics -- served as the 12 Flag Raiser for Week 3 of the preseason this past weekend.
"It was unreal," Harrison said of the experience in Tokyo. "I've never been the most patriotic person, but in those moments when you hear the national anthem it's crazy. And it's amazing to come back home and see all the love, especially that Seahawks fans have had for everything that's gone on."
Nevin Harrison raised the 12 Flag at Lumen Field before the Seattle Seahawks faced the Los Angeles Chargers on August 28, 2021. Harrison, born in Seattle, was a gold medalist in women's canoeing at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo.
