RENTON — Ziggy Ansah played in just two playoff games in six years with the Detroit Lions. The Seahawks, in that time, have played in 11.
The prospect of playing in the post-season more often was among the factors that drew him to Seattle, Ansah said Thursday in what marked his first comments to Seattle media since having signed as a free agent with the Seahawks last May.
One reason Ansah hadn’t talked until this week is that he hadn’t been healthy enough to practice — injured players are typically kept off-limits to the media.
That Ansah is now back practicing, though, will make the playoff berth he’d like to get that much more realistic, especially now that he has Jadeveon Clowney ready to pair with him on the other side of Seattle’s defensive line.
