Bruce Irvin on Ken Norton, Jr: He molded me into a man

Many have questioned the hiring of Ken Norton, Jr as the Seahawks new defensive coordinator, but do not count former Seattle linebacker Bruce Irvin among them. In fact, Irvin would probably say that Norton has been responsible for him not just having a career as an NFL starter but also for becoming a suitable role model as a person and teammate.

Not a small accomplishment for a guy who had character concerns going into the 2012 draft and then was also nominated by the Raiders for the Walter Payton Man of the Year award in 2017.
