SEATTLE -- Thomas Rawls wasn't good enough to see the field for Brady Hoke at Michigan.
But he was too good for the Lions.
The former Michigan running back gashed Detroit for 161 rushing yards Saturday night to help lead the Seahawks to a convincing 26-6 win in the first round of the playoffs.
"I'm kind of lost for words," Rawls said. "I'm so grateful for the opportunity, just to be a part of this whole organization. I'm just a kid from Flint, man. Nothing special. I'm just a kid from Flint with a lot of heart and toughness, and I just want to go as far as I can.
