Two photos. That’s it.
The day was April 27, 2012. I was on an elliptical at a 24 Hour Fitness in Carson, California, trying my darndest to get in shape for the dozenth or so time in my life. It was also day two of that year’s NFL draft and I figured I could squeeze in that commitment to myself with my commitment to the Seahawks. I don’t even remember the military man announcing the selection on ESPN, only the reaction and highlight videos from analysts after the pick.
At best I thought the selection of Russell Wilson would give me something interesting to write about during the 2012 season on Field Gulls, at worst, I would never be in shape.
