Boyer will compete with Clint Gresham for the starting long snapper job. At 5-foot-10 and 216 pounds, he's traditionally undersized for someone at the position, but snaps a "very accurate" ball, according to Carroll.

"I don't know where he got it, but he picked it up somewhere along the way," Carroll said of Boyer's deep-snapping pedigree. "We need to see if he can hold up blocking-wise because he's not a big man. We know he's going to give you everything he's got, which is all we've ever asked of our guys, so that'll be fun to see how that translates.

"He'll be in a big competition with Gresham, and we'll see how that goes."

3. Tyler Lockett Stands Out

Wide receiver/return specialist Tyler Lockett, who the Seahawks moved up the draft board to select in the third round (No. 69 overall), was one of the players coach Carroll singled out after day one of camp.

"I thought Tyler was all over the field, catching balls and making plays," Carroll said.

Carroll called Lockett a fast, "big-play guy" who excels at handling, catching, and fielding the football. He also admired Lockett's open-field vision in the punt- and kick-return game.

"The most important thing about doing kick and punt return is his attitude," Carroll said. "He loves doing it. It's part of his makeup."

4. Tom Cable Is Like A Little Kid In A Candy Store

Seahawks assistant head coach/offensive line coach Tom Cable's position group came away with three new players in this past weekend's draft.

The team took Terry Poole (No. 130 overall) and Mark Glowinski (No. 134) in round four and in round six added Kristjan Sokoli (No. 214), who will make the switch from the defensive side of the football.
