Jim Zorn returns to the city where he started his professional football career
The Seattle Seahawks are about to get another roommate. In addition to sharing CenturyLink Field with the Seattle Sounders of Major League Soccer, the Seahawks will soon share their home with another pro football team next week when the Seattle Dragons of the XFL will take up residence in one of the loudest stadiums in the country. The Dragons will be the 14th professional football team to set up shop in the state of Washington.
The Dragons will be coached by a man who's well known in Seattle. Most football fans know Jim Zorn as one of the top offensive minds in the game, but as a player, Zorn was the first starting quarterback in the history of the Seahawks (1976-84). He also guided the Seahawks to their first playoff appearances in team history (1983, 84), and served two different tenures as the team's quarterbacks coach (1997, 2001-07). Now it's up to Zorn to make history with the Dragons as the XFL makes its second go-round.
Zorn will have a nice stable of talent to work with thanks to October's 2020 XFL Draft. The Dragons obtained a bevy of former Alliance of American Football players in Brandon Silvers, B.J. Daniels, Kenneth Farrow, Ja'Quan Gardner, Trey Williams, Nyles Morgan, Will Sutton, and Evan Rodriguez. They also have a former service academy standout on board in Navy's Keenan Reynolds. Here's how the rest of the roster shakes out.
