Pre-Snap Reads 5/31: OTAs continue, ‘Hawks prep diligently for 2024

OTAs continue with little news of note, also known as no injuries and/or fist fights to report. Seems as if the players are taking to the new Seattle Seahawks coaching staff, excited and anticipating a new and interesting season. Sam Howell is also living life, settling in, feeling himself, feeling good with the idea that he is a back-up QB again. Much to learn, much for the team to improve on. If Coach Macdonald, et al, are as warm and inviting and engaging as they seem to be, well... we might have a contender on our hands! Go ‘Hawks, etc. Love yall.
