The Seahawks will carry a little bit of All-Pro defensive lineman Cortez Kennedy with them for every game of the 2017 NFL season.
The organziation announced Friday just shortly before its open-to-the-public OTA workout that each player will wear a “96” decal on the back of his helmet to honor the former Seattle first-round pick, who unexpectedly died May 23 in Orlando, Florida at the age of 48.
We will honor Seahawks Legend Cortez Kennedy with a '96' decal throughout the 2017 season.
