It must be said, I've damn excited about Jordan Kent. After 3 games of sustained growth, there's just no way to explain away his impressive play. In consecutive plays, Kent displayed an improved ability to defeat coverage and play the ball.

2^nd and 23 on the San Diego 49. Seahawks break 3 WR, TE, RB. Chargers in a Base 3-4. Kent breaks in on a Charlie Frye pass that errs dangerously close to coverage. That's an adjustment to a pass in flight. That's next level shit.

3^rd and 2 on the San Diego 28. Seahawks again break 3 WR, TE, RB. Chargers in a Base 3-4. Frye is pressured by Carlos Polk, rolls right, finds Kent streaking on a drag route, throws a low but accurate strike that Kent grabs and falls backwards with for the first. Here's the fun part: On the replay, we see Kent's entire route. Off the snap, Kent easily fights off Quentin Jammer, gaining initial separation. The drag slices through San Diego's 4 linebackers and moments after beating Jammer, inside man Matt Wilhelm violently chips Kent. Kent, knocked up onto one foot, instantly recovers. Wilhelm's hit allows Jammer back into the play, but Kent simply outruns the former 4.42 40 first rounder, squares his shoulders towards Frye, grabs the pass and converts the first. It's not just that Kent has played well over multiple games, it's that he's making strides every game. The regular season is another big jump, but it's time we recognize the chance we may be seeing a superstar developing before our eyes.
