Like many NFL players competing to keep a roster spot at this time, Seattle Seahawks Tyvis Powell really wants to keep his job on the roster.So much so, hed be willing to be the water boy, if thats what it took.Seattle Post-Intelligencers Stephen Cohen tweeted quotes from Powell on the lengths he would go to get that roster spot.Whatever its going to take me to make this 53-man roster -- I dont care if they tell me, Tyvis, we need you to get the water for everybody. Im going to be the best water boy in America, said Powell. They say, Tyvis go take a rep at corner. I go to corner. Tyvis, go to safety. I go to safety. Whatever they need me to do, Ill do it.Powell showed real potential in the Seahawks first preseason game with some solid plays, including a big block and an interception. Because of his performance Saturday against the?Kansas City Chiefs, he received major?praise from head coach Pete Carroll, ESPNs Sheil Kapadia reports.He had a great game. He had a terrific game. Your first time out as a rookie and you know special teams is a big deal, he makes a great play on kickoff coverage on the 12, he has a fantastic and just classic block on the punt return. The ball that he almost kept out of the end zone was an extraordinary play too, just to make that play, and he has a pick, said Carroll. It was a great day, and I was really fired up for him. Hes looked really good at practice, and he made a big statement. I dont remember a first-year guy having a first game that was that obvious like that. It was very impressive.Kapadia believes Powell has a good shot at making the roster, and after reading Carrolls thoughts on Powell, that might be the case.?Powell has been practicing at both ends of the secondary, at safety and cornerback, and Carroll plans to have Powell going back and forth between the positions.Hes certainly physically capable of doing that. Hes really fast, hes really tall and long, hes really coordinated and comfortable with the movements and stuff, he has good hand-eye stuff, said Carroll. It takes longer to learn our system at safety, physically it takes a long time to figure out the corner stuff, but hes going to be going back and forth. Were going to try to do the same format that we did with?DeShawn Shead?and?see what happens. It makes him more valuable to us, it makes his spot on the roster more available, and with what he did on special teams, thats the right idea I think if we stay with that.Oshane Ximines Jersey .
