Russell Okung
Less than 24 hours have passed since the Seahawks war room collectively wiped the sweat off their brows and took LT Russell Okung no. 6 overall.
Now, Okung already has a blog post up on Seahawks.com, where he goes into detail about the draft and talks about his future with Seattle.
"To all the Seahawks fans out there, I look forward to becoming a part of this team and this community," Okung said. "Great things are going to happen."

While there is not a lot of substance to the blog post, he does also talk about Seattle's coaching staff briefly.
I’m so excited to play for Coach Carroll. He has a lot of enthusiasm and is always excited. He’s a self-motivator and we have a similar personality, so I’m really looking forward to playing for him. He’s a great guy and I loved meeting him over the last few months. I can’t wait to get up there. I haven’t spoken to offensive line coach Alex Gibbs too much, but I know he’s very seasoned and knowledgeable about the game, and I know I’m going to learn a lot from him. It just seems like the perfect situation for me up in Seattle.
