This year's 7th-round wonder

Last year, Seahawks fans were pulling for seventh-round pick, RB Justin Forsett, to make the team. (He did, but was not a big contributor in the crowded Seattle backfield last year.) This year, the Seahawks picked Oregon DE Nick Reed with a supplemental pick at the end of the seventh round, just ten picks away from being a free agent.

Reed is 6'2", listed at 245 pounds. That's more linebacker size than defensive end. The Seahawks already have five veteran defensive ends (the smallest is Darryl Tapp, at 6'1", 270 lbs). How is he going to make the team? "I can sum it all up in just one word: courage, dedication, daring, pride, pluck, spirit, grit, mettle, and G-U-T-S, guts!."

His first preseason game, he had a sack and in interception. Tonight, he had 1.5 sacks, a forced fumble, and tipped a punt. This kid can flat-out play football.
