CANTON, Ohio — Kenny Easley plans to start Saturday, the day he will become the fourth player who spent his entire career with the Seahawks to be enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, the same as he has every other for the past year or so — with a one-mile walk at 5:30 a.m.
It’s a ritual he started on the day last August when he found out he had been nominated for the Hall by the Senior Committee.
At the time, Easley was about three weeks removed from triple bypass heart surgery to fix an ailment that had arrived almost over night — he had trouble breathing one evening while watching TV and was told the next day he needed the surgery after his pulse rate was measured at 30.
