Naz Jones knows the pressure is on for Seahawks’ D-line

Posted Aug 6, 2018
Second-year defensive tackle Nazair Jones will be one of the most important players on the Seahawks’ young defensive line. He’s not ready to call himself a veteran yet, though. “They won’t let me say I’m not a rookie because you’ve got that three game rule for the next year,” Jones said with a laugh. “So technically, I’m still a rookie.” That doesn’t mean he’s not aware of the pressure.
