Former Georgia RB, Seattle Seahawks rookie Kenny McIntosh talks confidence as receiver
Seattle Seahawks seventh-round draft pick Kenny McIntosh wasn’t a one-dimensional running back at Georgia.
The former four-star recruit made UGA history in his senior season of 2022 as the first player in Georgia football history to record 800 or more yards rushing and 500 or more yards receiving in a single season.
McIntosh totaled 1,582 yards rushing on 279 carries with 76 catches for 861 yards receiving and 20 total touchdowns over four seasons for the Bulldogs.
“I’ve been catching the ball since I was yay high; I can remember catching the ball in the house with my dad… Just having that confidence in my hands, knowing that ball not going to touch the ground if it hits my hands. And also I know I ain’t going to do pushups they’re going to make me want to do if I drop that ball, so I might as well catch it.”
Seahawks director of player personnel Matt Berry was elated when McIntosh fell in Seattle’s lap in the seventh round.
“There’s a belief and a chip on his shoulder and I think he’s ready to come in and contribute right away,” Berry said. “He’s gonna find a way to impact our team and we were excited to get him when we did.” (Locked On Seahawks)
