Former Bellevue High lineman Marcus Henry strives to become a Seahawk

Growing up in Bellevue, Marcus Henry idolized Seahawks legends Walter Jones and Steve Hutchinson, hoping one day he would make it to the pros — and if he did, maybe just maybe he would be a Seahawk, too.

Fast forward 10-15 years, and Henry, after signing with his hometown team this past spring, has the opportunity to fight for a spot on Seattle’s 53-man roster.

“It’s a dream come true,” Henry said.

Listed at 6 feet 2 and 303 pounds, Henry, whom the Seahawks signed after he participated in their rookie minicamp in May, is looking to earn a backup interior-lineman spot.
