RENTON — Seahawks running back Rashaad Penny already has logged one year in the NFL. Now he’s looking forward to his first season as a true pro.
The little things that separate the elite from the average eluded him last year. The extra reps, the body management, the attention to those around him — all short of the new standard the former first-round draft pick has set for himself.
Penny was effective most of the time he was used last year, gaining 419 yards on 85 rushes — good for 4.9 yards per carry.
