RENTON —- Another Seahawks practice, another big play from rookie safety Marquise Blair.
This time, Blair broke perfectly on a pass from Paxton Lynch intended for Terry Wright, leaping to pick it off near the sidelines, much to the delight of defenders who immediately enveloped him in celebration.
They liked it even better when coach Pete Carroll decided that was a good way to end practice, three horns sending everyone off the field.
The interception was one of a handful of standout plays Blair has turned in during camp that coupled with his performance in Thursday’s preseason opener against Denver, including two hits that revived memories of the Legion of Boom days, have stamped him as one of the team’s most exciting young players.
