Pete Carroll: Time is now for Christine Michael to show his ability

Christine Michael has played very sparingly over his first two seasons after being selected by the Seattle Seahawks in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft.

Michael was frequently inactive as a rookie and appeared in just 10 games for the team last season. He has just 52 carries for 254 yards in two years with the team. While playing behind Marshawn Lynch can make it difficult to get on the field, Michael has struggled to force the issue as well.

With Lynch expected to receive his traditionally light preseason workload and backup Robert Turbin recovering from offseason hip surgery, Michael has a chance to show what he can do with more opportunities.
