I'm not sure Cottom ever got consistent playing time. He played well when given a chance. Seattle, who has one of the best scouting departments, gave him a shot in camp. I think the problem for him was they built the offense around Mostert and Hunt who are very talented and happen to be the opposite. Cottom can't be successful in a read-option offense, but could have been very good in a different offense. There are only so many offensive touches to go around, especially with how many three-and-outs we had.
