Ex-Husky Kasen Williams appears to be catching on with Seahawks

RENTON – Kasen Williams didn’t catch as many passes as anyone expected this past year when he finished with 20 receptions for Washington, his fewest in any of his four college seasons.

As an undrafted rookie, however, he appears to be catching on after a three-day tryout during the Seahawks’ rookie minicamp, which concluded on Sunday.

“He looked like he fit,” coach Pete Carroll said of Williams. “So we’ll try to get him back.”

Williams initially signed with Cincinnati after going undrafted, but the team let him go with the designation that he failed a physical examination. Williams was limited by a foot injury in his final two college seasons at Washington.

Coming out of Skyline High School, Williams was so heralded as a recruit that Carroll was aware of him from his time as USC’s coach.

“We’ve known him for a long time through the recruiting process,” Carroll said, “and our expectations that he’s a really accomplished receiver. Great athlete getting off the ground and all. He showed all of that.”

Watch this week to see if the Seahawks sign Williams.
