When Seattle Seahawks offensive line coach Tom Cable and director of college scouting Matt Berry worked out first-round pick Germain Ifedi, their goal was to push him out of his comfort zone.
"One of the things I tried to do in the workout was to press him, to see how far I can take him," Cable said. "He never backed down. He handled the workout beautifully. One of the characteristics coming in was I knew there was a toughness about him. Since he'd become a starter, he hadn't missed a day, whether it was a game or practice.
