RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks running back Thomas Rawls has been receiving texts from family and friends this week that all contain the same message.
Relax. Breathe. It's going to be ok.
At 5-foot-9, 215 pounds, Rawls is a bowling ball of energy. Regardless of the setting, his constant intensity stands out. Rawls could barely contain himself Thursday afternoon when talking to the media about his expected return Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.
"I think it’s most exciting about my whole journey through these injuries is pushing myself and understanding that adversity is there, but it doesn’t have to be a part of my life," Rawls said.
