Luke Willson on his return to the Seahawks, techno Thursday and more

And although Willson is no longer a young player, at least not from the point of view of football, he is confident that he still has a lot to offer the Seahawks during his second stay with the team.

"I think I'm still moving and running pretty well, and only a few years wiser," he said. "I think the perception is that I'm older, I guess we'll see, I think everything depends, it's a subjective league, who likes what, what kind of offense you like and do not like. Sometimes you find yourself stuck in some roles.I have a lot of things to prove now, to everyone in this building and in the league.I have an opportunity, so that's really all i can request. "

Willson's availability not only allowed for a fun meeting with his former team, but also gave the Seahawks the opportunity to acquire more capital for the next year. Nick Vannett sent to Pittsburgh Steelers for fifth round pick in 2020.

"How lucky are we to have a guy that we love and who knows our program?" Said Seahawks coach Pete Carroll. "Just a vital element, an energetic guy in the program as well and a very good baseball player. We made a change. We had the chance to bring back Luke. We are lucky there. "

But enough for football, let's get down to the basics with Willson's return to Seattle. Despite the objections of some of his teammates, including defensive captain Bobby Wagner, Willson said Thursday's techno would come back.

"Of course, of course," he says. "I suppose, even though I gave my brother the boombox, I'm going to buy another boombox tonight and we'll get there."

What Willson does not need to bring back is the trend of short shorts on Thursday.

"A lot of guys went on like that, it looks like," he said. "There were a lot of guys I was looking for today who supported this move."

Joking aside, Willson returns to the Seahawks with a new appreciation of how things are going in Seattle after spending time with other teams.

"It's a very special place, so as not to become too emo, it's not really my style," he said. "From top to bottom here, to the way the whole organization is run – including public relations people, screaming at public relations officials – there's just a bigger feeling of people caring about each other here like something out of the field. I can somehow get into the psychoanalytic phase of the situation in my other countries, but it's kind of a family here. This is not what my experience has been everywhere else. Entering here today and just the general energy of the team and guys, it's probably one of the main reasons why, when I was here – and I know they're doing it again – we just seem to be able to win games late, because there's a general feeling of people caring for each other and wanting to do well, not only for themselves, but for everyone in the building. All the people who have an element in this organization that help us play, and I do not think it's the same everywhere, at least from my experience. "
