The Seahawks kick off their preseason slate on Friday night, which will give us a chance to see how tight end Jimmy Graham looks as part of their offense for the first time since he arrived in a trade with the Saints.
Seattle didn’t have much success integrating a new offensive piece after they traded for wide receiver Percy Harvin in 2013. Harvin missed most of that year with injury and things weren’t working during the 3-2 start to last season that preceded the deal that sent Harvin to the Jets, but offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell expects things to go more smoothly this time around because the team doesn’t have to alter their usual approach to fit Graham into the mix.
