TCU QB Trevone Boykin wants to be in Russell Wilson's "hip pocket" | The News Tribune

Boykin is doing everything he can to be Wilson's shadow, and that's a really smart move. It also helps that Pete Carroll seems to really like Tre. What helps even more is Boykin's familiarity with new Seahawks center, and another Frog, Joey Hunt.

Carroll particularly liked how Boykin’s familiarity with center Joey Hunt, his TCU teammate and Seattle’s sixth-round pick, meant fewer botched snaps in this minicamp compared to previous springs.

Boykin, wearing No. 2, showed a commanding presence, strong arm on throws down the field and to the sidelines plus an affable smile. As the weekend went on, he took more of the snaps.

"I’ve seen him for a couple years. His versatility and his style of play is so similar to Russell’s," Carroll said. "He’s got a big arm. He’s a very creative athlete. He’s got great instincts and great vision. His ability to run and make people miss and get out of trouble is very similar to what Russell does."
