Jamarco Jones is heading to the Seattle Seahawks. My favorite team selected the smiling one in the fifth round with the 168th overall pick. Jones is the sixth Ohio State player to get drafted by Seattle.
Russell Wilson spent much of 2017 running for his life and it is hoped that the addition of Jones will put an end to that.
