Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll has conceded that Jimmy Graham has been frustrated by his impact in the first two matches of the season.
The NFC West side traded their first-round pick in the 2015 Draft and center Max Unger to acquire Graham from the New Orleans Saints.
The 28-year-old was expected to be a major part of the club's offense, but has recorded just seven catches for 68 yards and one touchdown in his first two matches for the Seahawks.
"We certainly had a bunch of calls - a bunch of calls - where it could have happened. I think he is [frustrated]. I think he's a competitor, he wants the ball, he wants to help us win," Carroll told reporters.
"I don't think there's any question about it. I would feel that, too. He's worked hard, he's great about it, he wants to do everything he can to help us. I don't have any doubt about that."
The Seahawks are 0-2 in their season ahead of their clash against the Chicago Bears on Sunday.
