12 Things You (Probably) Don't Know About Seahawks Tight End Luke Willson

How many of these fun facts did you know about Luke Willson?

Here's something to know about Luke Willson – he's superstitious about very random things. He'll admit that it's odd, but he always puts his left shoe on first.

What would happen if he didn't? Nobody knows. And he is not about to find out.

Which brings us to No. 1 on our list of things you (probably) don't know about the Seahawks' third-year tight end:

1. He's superstitious on the sideline.

Willson: "During games, I'll switch whoever I get water from – the trainers have water bottles – until we score, and then I'll stick with that guy. So if we have a bad drive, I'll never get water from that guy again."

3. He's musically diverse.

Willson: "I go through a wide variety of music in my life. One week is like a rap week, and one week is a Red Hot Chili Peppers week. I'll even do some of the more aggressive rock."
