Episode 7 of The Sound: Back Home - Seahawks.com

The episode begins in California, as the Seahawks steal a 37-23 road victory over the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 7. Seahawks veteran defensive lineman Quinton Jefferson embraces Nwosu on the sideline pre-game, giving encouragement to Nwosu as he faces the team that selected him in the second round of the 2018 draft.

"I'm gonna just play my game bro, I'm good," said Nwosu to Jefferson.

Nwosu playfully shows disappointment as a takedown of Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert is ruled a tackle for loss, but getting the win and seeing old teammates and playing in front of family was more important for the Carson native than individual stats. But he was a little hurt about not getting a sack.

"The fact that I missed one," said Nwosu. "Or that I missed the one, I was so close a bunch of other times. I just really wanted it, but most importantly, I got the win."

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll dedicates the game ball to Nwosu, as teammates embraced him. The story comes full-circle for Nwosu, who grew up 20 minutes away from SoFi Stadium, from Carson to the University of Southern California, and to the Chargers, and now a win over his old team with his current one.

Nwosu's next stop in Episode 7 is back to Seattle - to visit the Boys & Girls Club of Wallingford.

"When I was growing up I wasn't able to be around football players or any type of players of any sport," said Nwosu.

From speaking to the youth as a group, to playing basketball, we get a glimpse of the man under the helmet. Giving back is key for Nwosu, a man that shows great appreciation for his opportunities, and a passion for helping the next generation. Ever-proud of his Nigerian roots, Nwosu jumped at the opportunity this summer to represent Seattle as part of NFL Africa. The Sound takes us to Ghana, as Nwosu teaches children the game of American football - and helps prepare the next-potential African prospects yearning for a shot.

"The only thing I focused on was ball," said Nwosu. "But now it's like, my eyes are opened to so many things. You can really change the world or impact different things. When you're coming out, it's just all about football, football, playing, playing, playing, playing. But there's more things to life than just that."

Off the field, we get a look at Ghana's present state, and historical landmarks that tell the history of the lands past - like the Door of No Return.

Ten years ago, Seattle selected West Virginia University outside linebacker Bruce Irvin, and a decade later, Irvin is back for his third stint with the team. The Super Bowl XLVIII champion was in need of a team - and Seattle was in need of pass rush help.
