It wasn’t so much the intensity that surprised new Seahawks offensive lineman Rees Odhiambo, but the uniqueness.
Working out at his Boise State pro day before the draft, Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable had Odhiambo juggle balls. Yes, Rees Odhiambo juggled two footballs while simultaneously dropping into pass protection, all while Cable studied him.
“He was just trying to see hand-eye coordination as we were moving,” Odhiambo said.
What’s interesting is that although the specifics of Odhiambo’s workout were unique, they mirrored what other players have said over the years. Cable and the Seahawks like to see how prospects react under pressure, but it seems to be especially true of offensive linemen.
