Russell Okung thanks Seahawks fans for time in Seattle

Russell Okung was the first draft pick of the Pete Carroll/John Schneider regime and although, now six years later, he has left for Denver in free agency, he took the time to pen a great "thank you" column for fans, which was published in the Seattle Times this morning. It chronicles his time in Seattle and shares a bunch of memories he had of his time here.

Here's an excerpt:

I'm so grateful for the relationships I've developed and the amazing people I've encountered. These are lifelong relationships I intend to keep. All of you 12s have helped me in this journey.
