The consensus among our Seahawks sources is that second-round OL Max Unger's talent is simply too good to not be a starter this season. That said, just where the versatile Unger figures in the starting mix — left guard, right guard or perhaps center, his primary position at Oregon — remains unclear heading into training camp. Up to now, he has spent most of his time at left guard, with incumbent Mike Wahle still on the mend from shoulder surgery, but he has also put in time at center. In any event, daily team observers believe Unger, who reminds them a lot of former Seahawks jack-of-all-trades OL Chris Gray, will be on the field a great deal. “They’re really high on Unger,” one source said. “He’s very sound technically and real scrappy. I like him more every time I talk to him. He is definitely not intimidated. You can tell that he just gets it. He played in a similar spread offense at Oregon, and (Seahawks O-line coach Mike) Solari loves linemen who can play multiple positions.”
