The Seattle Seahawks wrapped up minicamp this week but not the quarterback competition, which remains in full swing. Both Geno Smith and Drew Lock battled it out all week on the field and at the podium. One remains the leader for now.
“Geno’s still ahead, you can tell that, but it’s not going to be too much for Drew to be caught up,” coach Pete Carroll said after Thursday’s practice. “By the time we get through camp he’ll be there. He’s really bright. It makes sense to him. He’s really sharp in the huddle and at the line of scrimmage and all of that. So it’s just time that he needs, and there’s nothing we can do but gain some more of that.”
By “camp,” Carroll is referring to training camp, roughly just six weeks away. During that time, both quarterbacks will be taking turns repping with the first team to see who comes out ahead in the end.
“It’s gonna be a real battle,” Carroll acknowledged. “It’s going to be really an exciting time for our team and for those guys in particular and for our people watching. I’m pumped up about it. I really am.”
The Seahawks have three more closed OTAs next week before breaking for the summer.
