Working at center with the first-team offense was Drew Nowak, the 6-foot-3, 292-pound fourth-year pro who originally entered the League as a defensive tackle for the Jacksonville Jaguars. Nowak has been competing alongside veteran center Lemuel Jeanpierre, who started three games for the Seahawks last year in place of an injured Max Unger. In the early stages of camp, Carroll said Jeanpierre would be the starting center if the team were to play a game right now, but that thought process has changed.
"That was earlier," Carroll said. "Drew Nowak is doing a really good job right now. Drew's getting a great shot to show us how he fits together with it. Like we said, that was a real key spot for competition, and that's on. Drew has been doing a good job. He's come a long way. He's another guy who's come from the other side of the ball just a year ago, so he needs every snap to show he's understanding and he can communicate and all that. But the indications are really good. He's really strong and he's shown really good smarts, so we'll see what happens."
Left guard in the first-team offense belonged to Alvin Bailey after rookie Kristjan Sokoli saw plenty of work there in recent training camp practices. Rookie Mark Glowinski was the first to back up Bailey at the spot.
