Chris Carson has overcome a torn ACL, a broken leg, a Division I detour and a childhood bout of ADHD. Now he's trying to establish himself as the Seahawks' starting running back.
When he was four years old, Chris Carson fell down the stairs in his house.
Then he got up and walked away like nothing happened.
Symbolically, at least, the Seahawks’ second-year running back has been climbing and falling ever since. When he was in elementary school, Carson was diagnosed with ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder), a chronic condition that makes it difficult to pay attention or control impulsive behaviors.
