From Parking Cars To The Super Bowl In Less Than A Month

What an incredible story.  How do you go from parking cars to playing in the Super Bowl in less than a month?  Take the incredible case of defensive lineman Landon Cohen of the Seattle Seahawks. At the beginning of January Cohen and two close friends were running a valet service in Spartanburg, South Carolina when he got a call to join the Seahawks as a replacement for defensive tackle Jordan Hill. 

A serious knee injury had sidelined Hill and it opened the door for Cohen. Cohen was a 7th round draft choice of the Detroit Lions in 2008 and went on to play for eight different teams over a period of seven seasons including the Patriots and Seahawks.  And he was one of the final cuts of the Buffalo Bills just before the 2014 season.

Since then he's kept himself in shape with daily visits to the YMCA and when Hill went down on January 4th Cohen got a call to join the Seahawks. Cohen was inactive for the Seahawks' first playoff game against Carolina, but played 14 snaps against the Packers in the NFC Championship game.  Now he's in the Super Bowl six years after playing on the Detroit Lions team that went 0-16.

Parking cars or playing for the NFL Lombardi Trophy, either way, Cohen says he's just living his life.  And it should be an inspiration to anyone who has a dream to never give up.
