Seahawks rookies report — minus 2 top picks

By GREGG BELL

Associated Press

SEATTLE — Seahawks top picks Russell Okung and Earl Thomas remained unsigned as Seattle's rookies reported to training camp Thursday night.

Yet their agents remain hopeful both will be on the field for Seattle's first preseason practice on Saturday.

Peter Schaffer represents Okung, the sixth-overall pick and replacement for retired left tackle Walter Jones. Schaffer told The Associated Press on Wednesday he has been working every day for two weeks to get Okung at practice on Saturday.

And Andrew Kessler, the agent for 14th-overall pick Thomas, said earlier Thursday "we are making progress."

But by Thursday night, nothing was going on.

Seven of the NFL's 32 first-round picks were signed as of Thursday night.

Boring sermons or music, or too many disruptions during service (crying infants, etc.)
Work schedule, lack of transportation, chronic illness or other personal issues.
Personal disputes with the pastor or other church members.
Lack of meaningful programs for youth, young adults, etc.

Combination of the above.
