Seahawk Jeron Johnson’s Top 10 Things to Do in Seattle (Plus One We Made Up)
The strong safety for the Seahawks dishes on what he likes to do in Seattle
By Lauren Mang September 10, 2014
Seattle Seahawks strong safety #23 Jeron Johnson is now in his fourth season with our Super Bowl-winning team. Johnson had eight tackles this preseason and was mic’d up during the August 16 Seahawks/Broncos game. (Skip to around 1:52 for his sound bites during warm-up and to see the former Boise State player’s high energy–not to mention humor–on the field.)
In an effort to better know all the members on our favorite team, we asked Johnson to name the top 10 things he loves to do in Seattle when he’s not on the field. Then we made up an 11th one and threw it in the mix just to see if you could figure out which one of these is not like the other. Follow Jeron on Instagram at @Jus_showoff and on Twitter here. Go Hawks!
