Carlson To Seattle

Notre Dame didn't have to wait too long to have its first player picked in the 2008 NFL Draft.
Tight end John Carlson was the second tight end picked Saturday, going to the Seattle Seahawks in the second round with the 38th overall pick. Carlson spent his draft day at his hometown of Litchfield, Minn., with his family and his fiancee. Carlson led Notre Dame last season with 40 catches for 372 yards and three touchdowns.
Seattle is a good fit for Carlson as the Seahawks were looking for a tight end. The current Seattle depth chart has Will Heller as the starter with Jeb Putzier, Joe Newton and Zac Alcorn as backups.
