Bobby Wagner is making a difference in the middle for the Seahawks

Found October 17, 2012 on NFL Draft Zone: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Bobby Wagner
TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks,  Utah State Aggies
At the 2012 NFL Draft, Wagner was selected in round 2, pick 47 by the Seattle Seahawks. He is the highest selected player from Utah State since Rulon Jones in 1980.  Seattle was hoping that the speedy linebacker would be able to come in right away and make a difference.  Well Wagner has not fell short of that dream. He has been lights out since day one in Seattle.  Right now, Wagner is second on the team for tackles with 43 and is the only rookie with 40 plus tackles.  Wagner has become a vocal leader in Seattle and is everything the #1 defense could ask for in a Mike linebacker. Wagner has been a stud since Utah State where he was a four year starter. Wagner recorded 445 tackles, 4.5 sacks and four interceptions during his career.As a senior in 2011, Wagner was the WAC Defensive Player of the Year after recording 147 tackles, four sacks, and two interceptions, and if he keeps it up he could be defensive rookie of the year.

One of the best match-ups of the week on Thursday night. How nice to put that at a time when players only have three days rest. I’ve said elsewhere that it was the rampant Peter King fluffing that turned me against Russell Wilson. I know that’s not really a fair thing to hold against someone. Wilson is just being himself. If he happens to charm some reporters who skew their coverage...

Thursday Night Fantasy Football Pick-Up and Start, Week 7
