Is he really the 1?
Blaine Gabbert has a chance to be the first overall pick in April’s NFL draft? But is the Missouri passer a true No. 1 quarterback? There seems to be some debate, even after Gabbert completed his Pro Day workout today. SI.com’s Tony Pauline – in a review labeled “Gabbert Excels At Pro Day” – said, [...]
Carroll champions hope
LOS ANGELES — Where gang violence once reigned, hope is being backed by results, and results are being backed by hope.

Strong stuff
Only five members of the Seahawks’ 35th Anniversary team joined the club as undrafted rookies: kicker Norm Johnson (1982), nose tackle Joe Nash (1982), free safety Eugene Robinson (1985), linebacker/special teams player Rufus Porter (1988) and fullback Mack Strong (1993).

Gone Fischin’
Jedd Fisch is gone, after one season as quarterbacks coach for the Seahawks. But the new offensive coordinator at the University of Miami has not forgotten. Fisch is having the Hurricanes’ quarterbacks – Jacory Harris, Stephen Morris and Spencer Whipple – study tape of NFL passers. Included in that group is the Seahawks’ Matt Hasselbeck. [...]
Burleson’s stay short, but sweet
