One of the feel good stories of the season in Seattle has been Ryan Neal, who has stepped in at safety in Jamal Adams’ absence over the past several weeks.
After a strong training camp, where Neal displayed his versatility, he was waived and signed to the Seahawks’ practice squad. In Week 3, when Adams left Seattle’s win over the Cowboys with an injury, Neal was only available to come in because he was elevated from the practice squad for that specific Sunday.
The rare opportunity, which Neal took full advantage of with a game-sealing interception, was followed by a press conference where his gratitude was clear to see.
