When Wright broached the subject with Curator Emeritus Bill Holm, he pointed her to a photograph of a Kwakwaka’wakw (pronounced: KWA-kwuh-kyuh-wakw) eagle mask in Robert Bruce Inverarity’s 1950 survey, Art of the Northwest Coast Indians. Wright’s art history students were curious about the design influence for the Seattle Seahawks’ original logo. In the lead-up to last year’s Super Bowl, Burke Museum Curator of Native American Art Robin K. What a year it has been! Now, as the Seahawks prepare to "re-Pete" their visit to the Super Bowl, here’s what we’ve learned so far about the mask that inspired the logo. One of those was obviously getting a long-term deal done with defensive tackle Dexter Lawrence, which happened Thursday afternoon when the sides reportedly agreed to a four-year, $90 million deal.It’s been one year since we first explored the connection between a Native mask from the Pacific Northwest and the original Seattle Seahawks logo. “We have a couple plans in place,” Schoen said. We’re excited to see what he can do.” Clearing some cap spaceĪs of Thursday, Over the Cap shows the Giants $149,549 over the cap. You’re trying to build your receiver group and they all come in different sizes and shapes and we didn’t really have anybody that looked like him and ran as fast as he did. Just add a big body, an ‘X’ body type that we were looking for in the offseason. We like him, he was in the mix, he was on our draft board, he was a draftable player so to be able to get him after the draft we were ecstatic about that,” Schoen said. Height/weight/speed product that’s had some production. He’s a big kid, 6-3, 221 pounds, he ran 4.4. “His body type was something we don’t necessarily have.

Still, when asked about spending comparatively big dollars in undrafted free agency to bring in wide receiver Bryce Ford-Wheaton after the draft, Schoen admitted his size had a lot to do with it. Schoen said way back at the Combine that body type really didn’t matter to the Giants at the wide receiver position, separation ability did. “I think he’ll be a valuable part of our receiving corps this year.” Maybe size does matter He’s a 4.38 timed speed and sometimes you think he plays a little bit faster than that. There’s timed speed and there’s play speed. Got some nasty to his game, got really good quickness and leadership qualities about him.” He’s smart, tough and dependable, those things that we covet. Took a liking to him then and he had an outstanding Senior Bowl. “John Michael’s a guy I saw play live this season. He saw both Schmitz and Hyatt play this season. Something we have come to learn about Schoen is that he favors players he has seen plat in person. He’s a player we liked, he fit the system, our coach is really on him and our scouts were high on him so there’s consensus in the building.” John Michael Schmitz and Jalin Hyatt we were excited to get Deonte Banks there. It’s hard to find good corners in the league and those guys in free agency are making a lot of money,” Schoen said. “Three corners had already went and that’s a premium position these days. Schoen said there was consensus that Banks was the right player for the Giants. We were still able to do that and have seven picks.” Why Banks? “We were a little bit aggressive to trade up a couple times but there were players that we coveted and wanted to make sure that we were able to get. “Three positions that were needs and we thought the value of where we were able to get the players matched up with where we had ‘em on our board,” Schoen said. Schoen, of course, ended up trading up twice in the first three rounds - securing Banks at 24, John Michael Schmitz at 57 and Jalin Hyatt (via trade up) at 73. Thus the Giants made the move up one spot for cornerback Deonte Banks. “We were patient and got to 24 and then you have to worry about teams behind you coming up.” “If the price made sense for the player that we were going after we would have pulled the trigger,” Schoen said.
The Seahawks initiated a first-round run of four straight wide receivers there, and Schoen’s admission can only be taken as an indication that one of those wide receivers (perhaps Zay Flowers?) was a primary target. 25 “probably as early as Seattle,” which had the 20th pick. Schoen admitted that he started making calls in an effort to move up from No.
