In college, he disregarded concern for his body — or health — on his weekly hunt for defenders.
“He didn’t try to run around people,” said Fred Jackson Sr., his position coach at Michigan (Rawls later transferred to Central Michigan). “That’s why he was hurt all the time.”
So it is not surprising that during his rookie season with the Seahawks, Rawls’ most prominent trait is his blunt eagerness for contact. But Rawls does not see it as a matter of eagerness so much as one of identity.
“I never run out of bounds,” he said. “It’s just my makeup. It’s just my whole mentality. I think I would feel less of a person if I just ran out of bounds.”
