RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Alex Collins already stands out among his new Seattle Seahawks teammates — for his unusual hobby if nothing else.
Irish step dancing isn't usually high on the list of interests for potential NFL running backs.
"I'm always on my toes and my lower body, my calf muscles and what not," Collins said. "It's a lot of fun working with them and learning something new, especially since I didn't think I could do it."
Collins was selected with the second of Seattle's fifth-round picks during the final day of the draft on Saturday as the Seahawks continued to address depth in the offensive backfield after the retirement of Marshawn Lynch and with incumbent Thomas Rawls still recovering from a broken ankle suffered last December.
