Let it be officially known that the Seahawks know they need their rookies to be prepared to play at their highest level possible in 2019. There really is nothing else that can be taken from the team announcing that their first-year players will arrive before the veterans for training camp this month. Under Pete Carroll, this had never happened.
Rookies for Seattle reported Wednesday for training camp. Or really, pre-training camp. The players cannot participate in contact drills until July 25th. Then the real fun will begin. But the rookies will still get to learn a lot about Seattle’s scheme and playbook.
