Newest Seahawks Jeron Johnson And Marcel Reece Excited For Opportunity
On Tuesday, safety Jeron Johnson and fullback Marcel Reece both signed with the
Seahawks. Johnson’s signing adds depth at safety following Earl Thomas’ season
ending injury, while Reece gives the Seahawks another option at fullback with
Will Tukuafu in the concussion protocol this week. Johnson and Reece were
released by teams earlier this year and have been waiting for the right
opportunity to present itself ever since, and now both have the chance to
contribute to a team that is well positioned to earn a fifth consecutive playoff
berth. Johnson took most of his time to strong safety during his first stint
with Seattle, but he said he’s ready to play free or strong safety—or anywhere
else for that matter. Reece also said he’s ready to go as a seahawks. Seahawks
coach Pete Carroll expressed that despite both of them being new to the roster,
there’s a level of familiarity with the team and the system that could help them
contribute right away. Carroll highly appreciated both new players’ ability of
playing football.
