Article: Ken Norton talks about his dad's influence

[drdiags]

Saw this article come across the twitter feed. A little human interest story on Ken Norton Jr and his thoughts about his father.

"With Coach Norton, it's all about the hands," Seahawks linebacker Heath Farwell said. "We do a lot of hand work in our individual drills, hand-fighting. It's like boxing — footwork, hips. We're always trying to pick his brain about his dad, but he doesn't talk about it much, just like he doesn't like talking about his own playing career."

Farwell said Norton is like a big brother to the Seahawks linebackers, both because of his own illustrious playing career and the way Ken and Angela Norton have opened their Seattle-area home to the players, inviting them over for Thanksgiving and Christmas meals and the like.

It's a warmth Norton says he got from his dad.
