What's one good way to tell if a player has been having a solid training camp? That player pre-planning their interception and touchdown celebrations.
Yes, throughout nine training camp practices, Nick Emmanwori's been stacking impressive practices so much so that he's been putting some thought into his celebrations.
"I've been thinking about celebrations throughout the week a little bit," he said. "I've been making plays, making turnovers, so I wanted something for the camera."
The latest celebration, the ball being spun by Emmanwori and teammate Devon Witherspoon kicking the ball into the crowd, came after an endzone interception.
This makes a handful of takeaways for the rookie just this week and demonstrates his athleticism and the type of production Seattle could see from him during the season.
"I think the ball's just been finding me a little bit, but that's just me just putting in the work, trusting the coaching staff and just being in the right position and just having the ultimate confidence in myself. I was talking a little smack in practice about stop throwing the ball my way, just trying to get my confidence up. But I think that's just the work I've been putting in and the ball's just been finding me."
"Nick keeps showing up, "Macdonald said. "I have to tell him, 'Hey, man, the door is closed. Knock.' No, Nick has been up there a bunch."
Spoiler: He still doesn't knock.
"Coach Mike, I think he's a great coach and I like being around great people," Emmanwori said. "So when I came in, I just came from college and I was always upstairs in my head coach's office in my DB room's office. So I just want to bring that tradition over to the NFL. In the NFL they try to say the relationships aren't as tight, it's more business-like, but that's one thing I wanted to change if that was a narrative. But here at Seattle it's not the narrative, it's kind of real family-like. So I just like bugging him a little bit, just asking about whatever's going on. Life plays, football, it doesn't matter… I still don't knock"
He also gets that family-like feeling from his teammates who he feels like he has brotherly relationships with.
"I think we got the best vets in the league, man, Julian [Love], Coby [Bryant] Spoon, Riq [Woolen]. Even on the d-line with Leo [Williams] Jarran Reed, Boye [Mafe], Ernest Jones, former South Carolina player. So I think we got some of the best vets in the league, but specifically with the DB room man, they're just all kind of like a big brother figure. I got four older brothers, so it kind of just feels like that big brother, little brother relationship man. Julian and Coby, they're vets, they're pros. Everything they attack, which is film, either on the field, they're just ahead of the game. So they're trying to catch me up with them too."
On Thursday, Macdonald said, "The vets in the room are doing a great job with [Emmanwori], too. Julian (Love), Coby (Bryant), those guys, it's a good group."
Adding, "We keep giving him stuff and he keeps executing. You have to be careful that you don't take the playmaker out of the player. That's something that is on my mind. He just keeps learning and keeps executing and keeps making plays. He's got great enthusiasm and anytime you've got a coaching point for him, he's very receptive towards it. We've said this already here, but he's just a really fun player to coach.
Emmanwori has felt good about what the coaches have given so far.
"This is exactly what I expected. Especially coming in with my pre-draft meetings and stuff, just being open with them, telling them. They're trying to figure out what type of player I was. But to myself, I always knew I'm a confident player in my ability. So they're still trying to figure out what type of player I am. I think they kind of know what type of player. But knowing I can play man, I can blitz, I can guard tight ends, I can guard receivers, I can stay on the edge wherever they put me at I'm confident with being there."
