A second-round pick last year, Carlson set a Seahawks record for tight ends with 55 receptions for 627 yards as a rookie. He uses his 6-5 size and athleticism – he played basketball and tennis in high school – to his advantage. This season, he's averaging 12.3 yards per catch, with 24 receptions for 294 yards and two touchdowns.
