Seahawks Insider

It was a very short final session, only 70 minutes long. There were some drills for half the period, then the sides came together to run some plays. WR Logan Payne had some nice receptions from Seneca Wallace, otherwise there was nothing that really stood out. Mike Holmgren gathered together everybody who was still healthy afterward and gave a speech that was greeted by cheers.

I spoke with Payne for a little afterward, and he sounded excited about his opportunity, especially after coming out of Minnesota, which mostly ran the ball. He said he does not have a feel for who is ahead in the competition but thinks that the front office has done a good job of mixing and matching receivers with different attributes. He said he has been working in the slot some. I asked him if that was what he saw as his future. He said the coaches have all the WRs learning all the different positions, so he doesn't really know what his future spot will be.

Matt Hasselbeck also talked. I'll post some of that interview once it is transcribed.

Did you see much of Michael Bumpus? As a WAZZU alum, I am very interested.

Next minicamps are June 2-5 and then June 9-12.

Bumpus was here last weekend, then left with the other rookies. He looked pretty good when he was here, had one really nice play where he got behind the receiver and the entire team was cheering for him.
