The Seattle Seahawks added a handful of wide receivers this offseason, all of whom are vying to take over the No. 3 role that was vacated after Paul Richardson signed with the Redskins.

While free agent Brandon Marshall may have the upper hand, he will face stiff competition from free agent Jaron Brown and 2017 rookies Amara Darboh and David Moore.

Another name to keep an eye on is former Navy quarterback Keenan Reynolds. Reynolds drew strong praise from head coach Pete Carroll after stepping in for Doug Baldwin during minicamp on Tuesday.

“Keenan had a really good day,” Carroll said. “I was really excited for him. He’s a great kid. You can see why he was a leader, a big-time player and all that [at Navy]. He’s going to make it big.”

Reynolds took over the slot receiver spot in drills on Tuesday as Baldwin is being given a rest during camp. Carroll said he spoke to Reynolds and let him know he was going to get a great opportunity to step in for Baldwin.

Reynolds was drafted in 2016 by the Ravens after an outstanding career with the Midshipmen. The Ravens used him as a wide receiver, where he spent the entire season on the practice squad. He spent 2017 on the Redskins’ practice squad. The Seahawks snapped him up in May.

Reynolds will have a long road ahead of him to win a spot on the 53-man roster. Making the most of an opportunity at minicamp and impressing coach Carroll, however, are a good start.
