NBC Sports: Bevell praises Boykin’s adjustment to NFL game

Posted by Mike Florio

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll has compared undrafted rookie quarterback Trevone Boykin’s physical abilities to Russell Wilson. Offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell has praised Boykin’s mental skills.

“From the system that he has come in from and to come into our system when you’re not calling plays in the huddle sometimes that can really hamper young quarterbacks,” Bevell told reporters on Wednesday. “I think he has done a really nice job of coming in, studying the playbook, being on the words and the verbiage that he has to repeat in the huddle so that’s going to be a cool thing to watch. . . .  Once he has broken the huddle he has done a really nice job of, ‘OK, now I can focus on where everyone’s going,’ and I think he’s really played well out here. We’ve got good competition at that position, I think Jake [Heaps] is pushing him as well. Both those guys are making some big splash plays out here, so I think it is going to be fun to watch them play and see how much they are going to be able to retain and react to.”
