Though the game was still fairly away, it was his off-field flair that had everybody talking about his attire. However, cameras caught the Seahawks legend rocking a Seattle Storm jersey while entering Northwest Stadium.
The much-needed cheer came amid Storm’s hopeful 2026 WNBA Draft pick outcome, hoping for a championship this year.
