Good story of Texas A&M D-lineman with a learning disabi

[badmotorfinger]

Every spring I look at the NFL draft picks for the Seahawks. They're my team. For their 4th round pick this spring they got what they thought was a steal in DT Red Bryant from Texas A&M. I looked a little bit to find a link to the press conference Mike Holmgren had talking about this guy to post from seahawks.com. You could probably find one if you looked hard enough.

One of the reasons he felt like he had to have Red Bryant was his character. In the interview with Bryant, Holmgren found out he was dyslexic. He was impressed with his determination just to be a student athlete with a learning disability and to graduate. He felt like someone who had to overcome obstacles like that would be an asset to his team.

Powe has a long way to go but it can happen with the support of family, friends, teamates, and fans. Sorry to ramble, I just thought I would pass that along.

Honestly not a huge NFL fan. Of course I had to cheer for the Giants with Eli and all. And the Saints because of Deuce... and I loved the Broncos back in the day because I shook Mr. John Elway's hand once... but I'm not really all that into the NFL. I'll probably start paying closer attention to the Texans being so close to them, but nothing serious. I just never met an actual Seahawks fan... I mean, the fairweather kind when they were on a roll, but never a real fan. I'm just surprised is all.

I enjoyed Willie Green as a seahawk... and I like Holmgren too. Chris Spencer ain't too shabby either.
