Seahawks' K.J. Wright: Playing Madden helped develop football smarts

RENTON, Wash. -- Linebacker K.J. Wright is in his sixth season with the Seattle Seahawks, and 2016 has probably been his best yet.

Wright has 52 tackles, a pair of sacks and has been excellent in coverage.

Richard Sherman recently called him one of the defense's most underrated players, and linebacker Bobby Wagner said Wright has not received the credit he deserves.

I caught up with Wright this week to talk about his football savvy, his keys to recovery and the team's most underrated player.

Defensive coordinator Kris Richard said you're one of the smartest players he's been around, and Wagner said he's always impressed with how you diagnose plays.
