Overview
- the NFL honored Egbuka for September after he helped Tampa Bay open 3-1 with immediate impact plays.
- through four games he has 18 receptions for 282 yards and four touchdowns, leading all rookies in receiving yards and touchdown catches.
- he also leads rookies in yards from scrimmage (291) and yards after the catch (115), and he is tied for the most receptions with 18.
- with Mike Evans out due to a hamstring injury and Chris Godwin returning, coaches say Egbuka is drawing top matchups such as Eagles cornerback Quinyon Mitchell.
- his 77-yard touchdown versus Philadelphia underscored his big-play ability, and he now returns to the Seattle area where his family secured a large section for the game.
