Nazair Jones: From thinking he may never walk again to Seahawks rookie

RENTON After just two days around the Seahawks, Tammy Jones is all in.

"I love the Seahawks family already. I feel like I’m leaving him in good hands," the mother of remarkable third-round draft choice Nazair Jones said Saturday.

She was standing off the edge of the team’s practice field, here from her North Carolina home for Seattle’s first two practices of rookie minicamp. Mom was wearing a neon-green, Seahawks shirt beneath a matching, low-slung necklace on Mother’s Day eve.

Her smile was as bright as the lakeside sun. No wonder: She has more reason to be proud – and oh, so appreciative – than most NFL moms.
