Seahawks tight end Ed Dickson eager to make an impact despite delayed debut

Veteran tight end Ed Dickson, who missed the Seahawks' first six games with a soft tissue injury, said he "might be in the best shape of any player in the NFL right now. I just have to go out there and prove it."

Ed Dickson used the term “unfamiliar territory.”

The 31-year-old Bellflower, Calif., native could have been literally describing his first season in Seattle, though he played college football nearby at the University of Oregon.

Instead, the Seahawks’ tight end was referring to an unfamiliar feeling. For five consecutive seasons, with two teams, Dickson appeared in all 16 regular season games.
