RENTON — As is the case for just about anyone in his second season in the NFL, Trevone Boykin says he feels like a different player this summer than he did a year ago.

Having never really had to call plays in a huddle in college — TCU ran the spread — Boykin said he’s now comfortable with Seahawks calls that he says sometimes “are 14 words.’’

Having spent the summer with a different conditioning and nutrition program — he said he emphasized lifting weights — Boykin says he weighs about 215 pounds now compared to 205 a year ago.
