Seattle Seahawks QB Matt Hasselbeck might be in the best shape of his 12-year NFL career reports FOXSports.com.
Hasselbeck, who turns 35 in September, had a rigorous offseason training program, went on a serious diet and now ices his throwing shoulder after every practice. Taking training and how you treat you body seriously is a good sign.
Hasselbeck said he is a little annoyed everyone is treating him like he is a 40-year-old quarterback. He has missed 11 games in the past two seasons and dealt with a variety of injury problems after being abused behind a poor offensive line. Hasselbeck enters training camp as the team's unquestioned No. 1 quarterback even though the Seahawks put a decent investment into backup QB Charlie Whitehurst, who was brought over from the San Diego Chargers. Offensive coordinator Jeremy Bates said Hasselbeck has not missed a day during the offseason workouts and has really grown with the new offensive scheme, which has a lot more three- and five-step drops. Hasselbeck is also entering the final year of his contract with Seattle.
