The Seahawks wrapped up their mandatory mini-camp with only a light week of OTAs remaining before the summer break. Head coach Pete Carroll gave updates on the progression of the rookie class, strong play from Mike Jackson, and injury updates. FOX13
came to a close on Thursday with the team getting their most extensive work of the offseason in before a summer break until training camp in late July.
Witherspoon actually got work in the slot as a nickel cornerback during the mini-camp. Coby Bryant was unable to take part due to a sprained toe and Witherspoon took snaps in the slot in his place. Part of the reason the Seahawks wanted to look at Witherspoon in the slot also had to do with the strong performance of Mike Jackson on the outside this offseason. Jackson has been a standout during practices and has made it clear he's not going to give up his starting job easily.
"His confidence is really at all-time high for him and I know that when he saw Tariq go down it was important for him to step so that we felt secure, we'd be OK, that we could carry on," Carroll said. "And he just rose to this camp, and really, through all the weeks he's been great. So he’s ready to play."
Linebacker Vi Jones missed some time due to a hyperextension, but is expected to be fine in short order. Rookie guard Anthony Bradford also was in a recent car accident and hit his head and was held out for precautionary reasons. "It's a passing camp, three days, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday," Carroll said. "So we'll be out throwing the ball a lot and working on our pass game stuff, pass rushing stuff. Really featuring the young guys in this sequence here. And Geno and Drew , they'll lead the charge, and do a nice job.– Safety Jonathan Sutherland and wide receiver Jake Bobo among undrafted additions to make an early impression.
