Former Utah safety Marquise Blair quickly makes impact with Seahawks — and gets penalized for it

Renton, Wash. • When safety Marquise Blair was drafted in the second round by the Seattle Seahawks, he brought with him to the NFL the reputation as a big hitter.

So it shouldn’t come as a surprise that one of the most notable moments from Seattle’s preseason opener centered on Blair and riding that fine line between what’s a legal hit and what will draw a flag in the NFL.

“I’ve been working on it since I left Utah, I’ve been working on moving my shoulder,” Blair said.
