NFC Notes: 49ers, Seahawks, Vikings

49ers

49ers WR Jeremy Kerley believes free agent addition WRย Marquise Goodwin will “take off” this year in San Francisco.

“He’s a guy that’s been overshadowed in the past a little bit,” Kerley said Friday on “NFL Total Access” via NFL.com. “A lot of guys just think he’s just a deep threat. Working with him for the last two or three months, he’s an all-around receiver and he knows what he’s doing.

“He’s got a lot of passion in the game and he puts in a lot of work at it. So he’s definitely a guy that I think everyone could look forward to and he’ll have a takeoff season.”

Seahawks

Seahawks HC Pete Carroll believes TE Jimmy Graham will produce even more for them now that he’s had a few years in their offensive system.

โ€œHeโ€™s had a beautiful offseason so I think we should expect to get even more out of that moving forward,โ€™โ€™ Carroll said, via Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times.

Carroll added that Graham has developed into so muchย more of a complete player since arriving in Seattle and has even worked to improve his blocking.

โ€œHeโ€™s so much more of a complete player than maybe we thought he would even become, really,โ€™โ€™ Carroll said. โ€œSo, he surprised us.โ€™โ€™

Vikings

  • According to Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press, the Vikings could have free agent addition RB Latavius Murray on the field along with second-round RB Dalvin Cook as soon as Monday.
  • Murray missed all of the team’s offseason workouts, due to a right ankle surgery he underwent back in March.
  • Vikings HC Mike Zimmer mentioned that he thinks Murray should be able to practice during training camp: โ€œI think so. I havenโ€™t seen him yet, so itโ€™s hard for me to say.โ€
