The Seahawks didn’t draft a quarterback, but they did agree to terms with an undrafted one: West Virginia’s Skyler Howard.
Howard completed 61 percent of his passes as a senior and threw 26 touchdowns compared to 10 interceptions. When asked about Howard, though, Seahawks coach Pete Carroll immediately started talking about Howard’s ability to throw the deep ball.
“He’s a mad bomber, man,” Carroll said. “He threw a ton of deep balls.”
The Seahawks have only two quarterbacks on the roster: Russell Wilson and his backup last season, Trevone Boykin, who is entering his second season.
