Seahawks trio of rookie RBs

The Seahawks weren't looking for an updated version of Marshawn Mark Messier JerseyLynch when they selected three running backs among their 10 picks in the NFL draft. They were seeking a variety of individual skills that pooled together will create a number of options for Seattle's offense going forward.

''I think it's a unique http... group because we're all different,'' third-round pick C.J. Prosise said. ''We're all unique in our own way. We all bring something different to the table, so I think it's a good fit for everybody.''

The trio of drafted rookies - Prosise, Alex Collins and Zac Brooks - received plenty of attention during the Seahawks rookie minicamp that wrapped on Sunday largely because of their different styles. Prosise and Brooks both have backgrounds as wide http:... while Collins fits the mold of a traditional running back.

Combined with Thomas Rawls - the presumptive starter headed into the season - and backup Christine Michael, the Seahawks are flush with a number of young running backs to maintain their priority of being an offense that runs the ball.

''All three of those guys picked everything up and did a nice job,'' [url=http://www.officialjetsonlinestore.com/Womens_Youth_Drew_Stafford_Jersey]Dr... Stafford Jersey
Seattle coach Pete Carroll said. ''I'm really excited about that spot and complementing what Thomas can do and Christine. It's going to be a great camp of competition for us.''

Of the three draft picks, Prosise may be the one with the most potential. He started his career at Notre Dame as a wide receiver before transitioning to running back last season and performing [url=http://www.officialjetsonlinestore.com/Womens_Youth_Dustin_Byfuglien_Jersey... as well, running for 1,029 yards and 11 touchdowns.

He's already being touted as Seattle's third down running back largely because of his pass catching background, although Carroll insists Prosise can be an option on first and second downs.

Prosise also fits schematically with Seattle's offense and its use of empty sets with no running back behind quarterback Russell Wilson. Carroll said they can already envision situations where Prosise is a mismatch for defenders lining up as a wide receiver.

''He has a tremendous range of abilities. So going into this draft I was hoping that we would get this guy so we could do the things that we can do with him,'' Carroll said.
