Former Mariner High standout KeiVarae Russell is embracing his chance this week at the NFL combine after a rockier-than-expected career at Notre Dame.
INDIANAPOLIS — The road to the NFL took a few unexpected detours for KeiVarae Russell.
But with the draft now just two months away, the former Mariner High standout feels like the path is again clear.
And, he says, maybe handling the unforseen curves without going totally off the road will better prepare him for what lies ahead.
Regarded as one of the top players in the state of Washington in the fall of 2011, Russell committed with much fanfare to Notre Dame after also seriously weighing Washington, Cal and USC.
