RENTON Rees Odhiambo knows these next four days present his best chance yet to start at the key position within Seattle’s most pivotal and worrisome group: the oft-debated, fretted-about offensive line.
You may be freaking out. But to hear the 2016 third-round draft choice, he’s not fretting.
“It’s a big opportunity,” he said. “And I’m ready to go take it.”
It appears Odhiambo, a backup left guard and tackle for his first season plus this month’s training camp with the Seahawks, will start Friday’s third preseason game against Kansas City at left tackle. He’s first up in the auditions ongoing to replace George Fant, who is headed to season-ending surgery to repair torn ligaments in his right knee on Monday.
