Jermaine Kearse flashes skills for Seattle Seahawks. Next Victor Cruz?
By Jason Marcum
Ironically, Kearse said he hadn’t returned kicks since his days at Lakes High school before being asked to try his hand at it this past week in practice:
"“They came to me and asked if I could return and I wasn’t going to say no,” Kearse said. “I got some reps during the week and on Friday coach [Pete] Carroll told me I was going to be able to get the first one. It was definitely a blessing.”"

to New York Giants receiver Victor Cruz, who’s taken a similar path in going from undrafted to now having just signed a six-year, $45.879 million contract.
That’s the path Kearse hopes to remain on as he appears to be emerging as a legitimate weapon for a Seahawks team that looks as good as any NFL team, and a big year from Kearse will only make them more dangerous, which scares the hell out of every other team in the league.
