It’s been quite the year for Chris Carson. The second-year back just finished a breakout sophomore season, helped revive the Seattle rushing attack and dragged the Seahawks to the postseason after being left out a season ago. And he owes a good part of his success to a conversation he had in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
As a seventh-round pick by Seattle in 2017, Carson’s chances of making the team, much less playing a featured role, were slim. But a solid summer camp and some head turning during the preseason landed him at RB1 for the Seahawks’ season opener as a rookie.
