Seahawks Fullback is Deaf
|
Quote:What? You read that right. Players are not allowed to move before the ball is snapped anyway so it prevents him from moving early. The NFL's first deaf player, Kenny Walker, said through an interpreter he never jumped offsides. It does not take rocket science to understand why. Because Derrick Coleman only knows it is time to move by looking at the ball he can't jump early either. So it's not bad to be the only deaf player on a football team. Did you know the huddle originated as a way of preventing the defense from seeing what the quarterback for a deaf school was signing? That "get in the huddle" sign you see quarterbacks do after a play is the sign for football because of that. (Well, actually the sign is interlocking your fingers, not putting the tips together.) |
