The following kudos are long, long overdue.
In lieu of a StatHawk column, which I love to write because numbers are the coolest, here is instead an ode to the most underappreciated Seahawk, maybe of all time --
-- Clifford Samuel Avril.
How shall we appreciate thee, Clifford? Let us count the ways. Three ways.
1. Appreciation through numbers
At first glance, Avril has not exactly lit up the stat sheet since joining the Hawks one game in March 2013. Statistically, here are the -- ahem -- Cliffs Notes:
| 2013 | 2014 | |
| Games (started) | 15 (2) | 16 (16) |
| Tackles + Assists | 25 | 30 |
| Sacks | 8. |
