Seahawks Coach Pete Carroll on Chris Carson: ‘He’s a Beautiful Looking Athlete’

Former OSU running back Chris Carson earned the starting job for the Seattle Seahawks last season, a gig that didn’t last long after he broke his leg in early October.

Now that he’s healthy again though, he’s ready to re-earn his job again this fall. Carson has taken first team reps in training camp — ahead of first-round draft pick Rashaad Penny — and impressed his head coach with his physique.

“He has been remarkably fit,” Carroll said via The News Tribune. “[He’s a] beautiful looking athlete out here.”

There are worse things to be called than a beautiful athlete from your head coach, I’m certain.
