Seattle Seahawks Training Camp Photos: Day One

The Seattle Seahawks began training camp on Thursday, and we've got the photos to prove it. Unlike game shots, training camp photos don't show much. Photographers look for action shots, and try to create some kind of story out of mundane drills. However, these photos are gold, and filled with candid shots of players learning the ropes.

Each day, as long as the material allows us to, we'll be posting photos and captions from training camp. From balls hitting guys in the face to players falling down and going boom, we'll look for the best. This is the first installment.

Ricardo Lockette makes a nice grab. Judging by the look on his face, I'm going to assume Earl Thomas is just out of frame. In related news, Lockette is no longer with us. He's dead.

As a child, Byron Maxwell was taught that blowing on the ball makes it spiral. Nobody tell him it's not true. It would be like telling a kid Santa isn't real.

John Schneider still working the phones

Philadelphia: Eagles front office!
Schneider: Yeah, how much for that Kolb kid?
Philadelphia: 60 million, a draft pick, a young star, your first born child and your soul. No refunds.

Minnesota: Vikings here, how may we help you?
Schneider: We'll take one of everything.
Minnesota: ...
Schneider: You heard me.
Minnesota: ......
Schneider: Poison pill this.
