RENTON, Wash. -- In a press conference last Wednesday that marked the Seattle Seahawks' first public comments since the Russell Wilson trade, Pete Carroll meandered his way through an 11-and-a-half-minute opening statement that centered around one the coach's favorite themes: second chances.
He applied it to Seahawks past and present such as Marshawn Lynch and Quandre Diggs, whose careers took off after they got a change of scenery in Seattle.
He applied it to Wilson, who will now begin the second act of a potential Hall of Fame career with the Denver Broncos.
