Dion Jordan waited a long time for this moment. Nearly three years, in fact.
And in the fourth quarter of the Seahawks' 22-16 win at Arizona Thursday, years of heartbreak and disappointment, years of hard work and rehab, years of trying to work his way back onto an NFL field, it was all rewarded in a big way.
With the Seahawks protecting a two-score lead late in an important NFC West battle, Jordan lined up across from Cardinals tackle John Wetzel, then after the snap, he simply overpowered Wetzel, walking him all the way back to Arizona quarterback Drew Stanton, allowing Jordan to record his first sack since Dec. 21, 2014. And this wasn't just Jordan's first game with the Seahawks, it was his first NFL game since the end of that 2014 season.
"Just a journey," Jordan said in the Seahawks visitor's locker room at University of Phoenix Stadium. "It's just a journey. Another step in my life towards everything that I want as a young man and as a football player. It's just been a journey. Like I keep saying I just put my head down and I wake up every morning to try to really just be the best version of myself. I work hard, come to work, do what I'm asked."
