Some players — most infamously, Oklahoma running back Joe Mixon — are getting second chances in this year’s NFL draft.
Garett Bolles is getting a third.
“I’m a changed man,” he said last month at the league’s scouting combine.
The Seahawks need quality offensive tackles like the rest of us need food, water and sleep. And Seattle coach Pete Carroll thrives on collecting players that have overcome difficult life experiences and thus have intrinsic, fundamental motivation to succeed.
Bolles has all that. And more.
He turns 25 next month. That’s as old or older than 46 of the 90 players currently on the Seahawks’ offseason roster.
