listen Listen: John Schneider on the Seahawks' rookie minicamp
Seahawks general manager John Schneider tells "Brock and Danny" which players to watch during rookie minicamp.
By Brady Henderson
Tight end Luke Willson was the first player coach Pete Carroll mentioned when asked who stood out on the first day of the Seahawks' rookie minicamp.
"I thought Luke Willson did some cool stuff today," Carroll told "Afternoons with the Go 2 Guy" on Friday. "He looked very fast. He ran a great time [in the 40-yard dash]; it was 4.50, 4.51 or something like that. It looked like it today on the practice field. He got loose up the sidelines and got to turn it on a couple times and caught the ball really well. So that's an exciting first day for that guy."
Willson had all of nine catches for 126 yards last season as Rice's backup tight end. Yet, according to general manager John Schneider, Willson was a player the Seahawks felt they had to have when they drafted him in the fifth round last month.
"We really, really would have been disappointed if we wouldn't have been able to acquire him," Schneider told "Brock and Danny" Friday, comparing Willson to Bruce Irvin and Russell Wilson from last year's draft in that regard.
Why were the Seahawks so high on Willson? Brock Huard offers his take in the video below.
Love what I keep reading about Wilson, especially the part where Schneider said he was a 'must-get' player - his measurable's are essentially identical to Jimmy Grahams.
including an interesting tactic head coach Pete Carroll used prior to the start of camp, “Wilson’s legacy: Carroll opened a morning staff meeting by showing video of [Russell] Wilson struggling with some of the basics, including center exchanges, during the rookie camp last year. Wilson finished the season with a playoff victory and an appearance in the Pro Bowl. Carroll wanted to put into perspective the first day of rookie minicamp so his coaches wouldn’t get down on a young player for struggling early.”
Richard Sherman hired the ref who botched the Golden Tate touchdown to umpire his celebrity softball game. That's pretty awesome.
first thing that popped into my head when i read about his suspension...new beginnings my @rse!
Where are those Ruskell choir boys at when you need 'em?
No question. Quickly becoming one of my favorite teams ever in all of sports (Payton & Kemp being #1).I would take this team with all the problems with any of those mr goodie teams. (2005 is debatable)
