Seahawks' rookie hype skyrockets after major backing from NFL analyst

Almost every rookie has difficulty transitioning from college to the NFL. Training camp and the preseason seem easier than when the real games begin. For the Seattle Seahawks, who have 11 rookies on the team's active 53-man roster, there could be a huge learning curve.

The good part is that Seattle has quite a few veteran leaders to help the rookies learn their way. Players such as Leonard Williams, Cooper Kupp, Jarran Reed, and DeMarcus Lawrence are not only experienced, but they are pretty good, too.

But the Seahawks' offense could be greatly augmented by one first-year player who was so good in training camp that he chased a seven-year veteran off the team.
