Christine Michael showing Seahawks he’s become more mature running back

Few plays Thursday show improvement he’s made

OK, so we’ve written and heard this story before. But the more Michael plays, the more apparent it is: He is a more mature running back this season than he’s been at any point in his career.

An example: In the first quarter of Thursday’s exhibition game against the Minnesota Vikings, Michael took a handoff up the middle, and it didn’t look like he had much room to work with. But Michael stayed the course, was patient and disciplined and slipped through the line when a sliver opened up at the last minute.
