Nazair Jones’ journey from re-learning to walk to Seahawks’ summer surprise

Posted Aug 31, 2017
Each day, Nazair Jones wakes up in his newly rented home near Seahawks headquarters. Though it’s early he’s not tired. Not even with this being at the end of a long, hot, first pro training camp and preseason. Jones is not daunted by all that’s new in his life as a rookie defensive tackle, living on his own on the coast opposite his native one. He’s thankful. Absolutely appreciative.
