One of the biggest needs the Seahawks have this offseason is finding a new starting center. One year ago today, they signed Austin Blythe, but he announced his retirement a couple of weeks ago. That opened up another hole in the middle of an offensive line that’s already uncomfortably weak on the interior. Good news, though – apparently Seattle is seriously interested in the best center prospect in this year’s draft class.
According to Tony Pauline H/T Chris Cluff, the Seahawks have been eyeing Minnesota center John Michael Schmitz for the longest time and became enamored with him during the Senior Bowl.
