Brock Huard watched the NFL scouting combine over the weekend with a close eye on wide receivers and tight ends, two positions the Seahawks could be looking to solidify in April’s draft.

According to Huard, former Oregon State receiver Markus Wheaton was one player who stood out.

Wheaton, listed at 5-foot-11 and 189 pounds, was tied for third among all receivers at the combine with 20 bench-press repetitions at 225 pounds. His 4.45 seconds in the 40-yard dash was 10th among receivers.

In the video below, Huard shares what he saw from Wheaton and another player who could be on the Seahawks’ radar, former Notre Dame tight end Tyler Eifert.
