Safety has helped stabilize the Seahawks defense as of late
When he went down with injuries to his shoulder, ankle and knee in back-to-back weeks last month, I was dubious that his replacement would fill his shoes close to adequately.
I’m a lot less dubious now. Johnathan Abram is a name few would have recognized a month ago, unless you were a 2019 draftnik who remembers him being selected by the Raiders 27th overall. Yes, 27th overall. Abram’s a first-round talent. He didn’t finish his rookie contract with Las Vegas — released midseason — and technically the Seahawks are his third team of the season.
Actually let’s recap Abram’s November for a sec. While football fans everywhere were planning Thanksgiving, eating the feast itself, watching the Lions , and then making leftover turkey sandwiches*, Abram suited up for three NFL teams. Vegas, then special teams exclusively in Green Bay, before finally getting claimed by Seattle on November 30. And you thought your holiday was a whirlwind.
Because for every Cary Williams adventure there’s a D.J. Reed discovery. For every Lano Hill gamble there’s a Quandre Diggs jackpot. And maybe, maybe, maybe, for every Dion Jordan cautionary tale there’s a Johnathan Abram success story. Possibly.
