Jim Jeffcoat and Ken Norton Jr were teammates for a couple of seasons in Dallas. Wonder if that has anything with the younger Jeffcoat choosing Seattle? Probably not, but kind of coincidental.
Probably didn't hurt, but I doubt it. It has to be pretty enticing to get a call from PC/JS and having them offer you an opportunity to come to camp and try out for a spot on a SB defending squad that boasts one of the best defenses in the modern era (I say all-time, but that usually gets me called a homer). He would be surrounded by young veterans who would see to it that he is hungry and would get better.
Also, and I am going to sound COMPLETELY crazy, but it's not a crazy thought. Uniforms. Being an Oregon fan, I think you would agree that uniform design is a big sell to high school kids, and these dudes aren't long past their high school days. I think those things matter, but it's kind of weird to say it. I just think it's a factor that might play into it. Then again, I could be completely wrong.
Other than Paul Richardson, Jeffcoat is the kid I am most excited about following this draft. I think it's going to pay enormous dividends for our defense and raise the competition bar yet again.
