Hamlin pulls a 180
KIRKLAND, Wash. (AP) - While lying in a Seattle hospital bed with a fractured skull and a severely frayed NFL future, Ken Hamlin wasn't thinking of making tackles, intercepting passes or winning awards.
"The biggest thing for me was just being able to run out of that tunnel again," into the Seahawks' home of Qwest Field, Hamlin said on Thursday.
Minutes earlier, Hamlin received the news that he was the NFC defensive player of the month for September - 11 months after he was in an intensive care unit with life-threatening injuries sustained in a Seattle street fight.
Hamlin is the first Seahawk to win conference defensive player of the month honours since Chad Brown in November 1998.
