Steve Longa isn’t disappointed that he wasn’t a sixth- or seventh-round pick in the NFL Draft.
In fact, the linebacker was hoping to not be, so that he had the power to choose the Seattle Seahawks.
“I sent a text to my agent,” Longa told Gannett New Jersey, “and said, ‘Listen, I want to go to Seattle. If this fifth round is over and my name doesn’t get called, I don’t want to get drafted. I want to pick and I want to pick Seattle. That’s where I’m going to excel.’”
