The Seattle Times: O-line encourages, Boykin rallies
BY GREGG BELLÂ [email protected]
KANSAS CITY, MO. – Perhaps the Seahawks can finally trust Christine Michael.
The offensive line needs more work — but it encouraged itself and those that matter most.
Undrafted rookie Tyvis Powell made a huge first splash in trying to make this team.
And Trevone Boykin sure likes the 2-minute drill.
Those were the takeaways from the Seahawks’ preseason opener at Kansas City on Saturday.
The Chiefs led 13-3 at halftime, then 16-9 with 1:07 left and Seattle at its own 12.
But Boykin, the undrafted rookie from TCU trying to win the No. 2 job behind franchise quarterback Russell Wilson, needed only four plays to go 88 yards. All four snaps were completions, the last a 37-yard jump ball that 6-foot-6 Tanner McEvoy leaped and caught in the end zone with no time remaining and a defender on his back.
