Can't wait to see Marsh play on the field this summer.

Three things we learned:
1. Cassius Marsh's conditioning = phenomenal
After the Seahawks drafted him in the fourth round out of UCLA, Marsh said that before his senior season, he lost 7 pounds participating in a Navy SEAL training course along with his teammates. He never did manage to gain that weight back in college, and he showed up in Seattle at 255 pounds. While he does expect to gain weight as a pro, that's not going to come at the expense of his athleticism and his speed. Marsh was the "most active guy out there" at rookie minicamp, according to coach Pete Carroll, and Michael Bennett last year showed that size isn't everything when it comes to Seattle's defensive line. Marsh has both the conditioning and the technique to make an immediate push for playing time.
