Tory Horton Shines in Seahawks Preseason Competition

Seattle Seahawks rookie wide receiver Tory Horton has quickly impressed in training camp and preseason, earning praise from head coach Mike Macdonald for his consistent playmaking. Horton caught three passes for 31 yards, including a 10-yard touchdown, in a 23-23 preseason tie against the Las Vegas Raiders. His performance has made him a strong contender for the WR3 role behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp, overtaking veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling on the depth chart. Horton's sharp route running and speed have eased concerns about his previous knee injury. Other Seahawks rookies, such as Grey Zabel and Nick Emmanwori, are also contributing early. Horton's continued development will be watched closely as the preseason progresses.
