(1090 The Fan) — Seattle Seahawks tight end Luke Willson joined The Steve Sandmeyer Show Monday to chat about his offseason, whether he’d ever consider playing baseball, and the potential impact of new Seahawks tight end Jimmy Graham.

Willson’s teammate, quarterback Russell Wilson, reported to spring training with the Texas Rangers in Peoria. Asked whether he’d ever consider venturing into a minor league camp, Willson said he enjoys the downtime he gets with his family.

“I’ve thought about it. But that being said, I didn’t get to see my family too much when I was in college. Going from Houston to Canada, and obviously now… it’s still pretty far. I really enjoy coming back and spending time. I’ve got a couple older brothers and a younger sister and my parents, so I spend most of the offseason around here.”

This May, Willson will be spending time volunteering at a football camp in Newfoundland.

“Football obviously is not the same here,” said Willson. “To be honest, I’ve never been out to Newfoundland. They reached out to my marketing guys and said they were really trying to develop the sport there, and they thought I would be the perfect candidate to go out there. I’ve heard a lot about the east coast of Canada but I’ve never actually ventured out there, so I thought it would be a pretty cool opportunity and a pretty cool experience.”

Willson also talked about how the Seahawks’ acquisition of tight end Jimmy Graham could help open up the Seattle offense in 2015.

“I think that our two tight end package is really going to put a lot of pressure on defenses. Because again, I feel like I’m a kind of guy who can definitely stretch the seam and run pretty well. And also you got a guy as big as Jimmy Graham and as talented as he is — I mean everyone on defense is going to know where Jimmy Graham is at all times.

So I think Jimmy Graham is going to help open me up, and open up other guys, and also help open up the run game. So he adds a whole new dimension to our offense. When you get a Pro Bowl guy like Jimmy Graham, things are definitely going to change.”
