DK Metcalf is an impressive athlete. He is 6'4 tall and 235 pounds with plenty of speed to go with his massive frame. This has made him an excellent deep threat and red zone target for Russell Wilson. At just 24 years old, Metcalf still has the potential to be even better than he already is. He already has 3,049 receiving yards and 26 touchdowns in his first three years.

#2 - Tyler Lockett

Tyler Lockett has proven to have excellent chemistry with Russell Wilson. His ability to get open on improvisational plays deep down the field is perfect for Wilson's quarterbacking style. Lockett led the Seahawks this season with 65 receptions, 1,053 receiving yards and 16.2 yards per reception with two games to go. It was his third straight season eclipsing 1,000 yards.
