Seattle Sea Dragons 2023 Offensive Preview
Wide Receivers
The XFL’s premier name, Josh Gordon, heads up the Seattle Sea Dragons receiver group. When not battling substance issues, Gordon was an NFL All-Pro pass catcher.
If he’s past all that, Seattle has a dynamic receiver and playmaker capable of handling top-caliber cornerbacks. He should tear up opposing defenses this season. Behind Gordon are plenty of question marks.
Juwan Green turned a strong career at SUNY-Albany into a few seasons as an NFL practice squad player, most recently with Tennessee. As a senior in 2019, Green set the Colonial Athletic Association records with 1,386 receiving yards and 17 receiving touchdowns, earning him an FCS First Team All-American selection.
Pacific Northwest football fans will be familiar with Jaylon Redd. The former Oregon Ducks receiver caught 131 passes for 1,435 yards and 16 touchdowns. He also ran for 5 touchdowns which makes him a duel threat.
Since leaving Troy State in 2018, Damion Willis has been with 5 different NFL teams. He was active for 10 games with the Bengals in 2019, catching 9 passes and contributing to special teams.
Former Western Kentucky/Mississippi receiver Jahcour Pearson is undersized at 5’7″ but lightning fast. With a 4.4 time in the 40-yard dash, he can break a long play any time.
Jones’ offense doesn’t utilize a tight end, but Seattle kept Charlie Taumoepau and list him as a running back. Other receivers on the roster are Jordan Veasey, Blake Jackson, and Kelvin McKnight.
On tap in Part 2 is the Seattle Sea Dragons defense and special teams.
