A complement and confident.
Those were the words used to describe Seahawks running back rookie Rashaad Penny Tuesday — the first by Seattle coach Pete Carroll and the second by Penny himself.
That Penny, the team’s first-round pick out of San Diego State last April, seems to be gaining increasing confidence by the week, though, means he may become far more than a complementary player as the season — and his career — progresses.
Carroll seemed to spend the first half of the season taking every chance he could to talk up Penny and his potential contributions while he was struggling.
