Tory Horton Shines for Seahawks, Eager to Face Idol Davante Adams

Rookie wide receiver Tory Horton has emerged as a secret weapon for the Seattle Seahawks, despite being a fifth-round pick. He has recorded 13 receptions for 161 yards and five touchdowns this season, along with a franchise-record 95-yard punt return for a score. Horton had a breakout game in Week 9 against the Commanders, catching four passes for 48 yards and two touchdowns while filling in for Cooper Kupp. He missed Week 10 due to shin and groin injuries but is expected to play against the Rams. Horton idolizes Davante Adams and is looking forward to potentially meeting him. Offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak has compared Horton's skill set to Justin Jefferson's. Horton's athleticism, including a 4.41-second 40-yard dash, and his ability to find the end zone have been key factors in his success. He credits his baseball background for his ball-tracking skills and a college knee injury for improving his mental game and film study.
