The Facts: The Seahawks signed nine of their exclusive rights free agents, per the NFL’s official transactions: linebackers Austin Calitro and Emmanuel Ellerbee, center Joey Hunt, defensive end Branden Jackson, safety Shalom Luani, long snapper Tyler Ott, defensive back Kalan Reed, guard Jordan Simmons and McKissic.
Diehards Line:
The Hawks used McKissic sparingly in 2018 as he recovered from a foot injury, but it brings to the forefront a key question, which is whether McKissic is a receiver or a running back. According to SBNation.com's Patrick Gilbert, the Seahawks have him listed on the roster as a running back, as they have had him listed since his arrival in Seattle after being claimed on waivers. That said, while he’s listed on the roster as a running back and he certainly wears a running back number, 21, in every release regarding snap counts played in each game this season, McKissic was not listed as a running back. Specifically, in every snap count release, he’s listed as a wide receiver. Starting with his Week 13 debut against the San Francisco 49ers. Given all that, you'll want to check your commissioner software/site to verify how he's listed before drafting McKissic.
