Tyrone Swoopes tries to go from Texas QB to Seahawks TE

RENTON, Wash. -- Tyrone Swoopes has no interest in trying to mask the difficulty involved with his transition from college quarterback to NFL tight end.

Asked if he's ever played tight end before at any level, Swoopes said, "Never in my life."

What about special teams?

"Never played special teams either," he said. "All of this that I’m doing is new. This is my first time doing it. But I’m willing to learn and do anything I can to get on the field."

Swoopes (6-foot-4, 247 pounds) was a four-star quarterback recruit at Texas.
