RENTON, Wash. -- Robert Nkemdiche let out a howl and pumped his arm in celebration after one of his turns in a drill Wednesday. After another, he did a running hurdle, then shouted something inaudible back at his fellow defensive linemen.
The 2016 first-round pick of the Arizona Cardinals is getting a chance to resurrect his career with the Seattle Seahawks after a year away from football, and he's enjoying it. That much has been clear from the first two practices of Seattle's mandatory minicamp.
"Being out here with these guys and competing and playing football, smelling the grass, all this, it's what I missed," he said Wednesday.
