Byron Maxwell often can be found sitting in front of his locker with his legs crossed in a yoga pose. Amid the hubbub of the Eagles' locker room, Maxwell finds moments to stretch. He does yoga whenever he can - when he wakes up in the morning, in the hotel room on the night before games, in the idle moments between practice and meetings. He finds classes after the workday.
During his four years with the Seattle Seahawks, Maxwell spent time at a local yoga studio that partnered with the team. Other players tagged along, but Maxwell often was there alone with middle-aged women.
