SEATTLE -- Mohammed Seisay had the Seattle Dragons’ trip to St. Louis circled on his calendar.

The Nebraska product was looking forward to the challenge of playing against a pair of former Cornhuskers. The cornerback wanted to show what he could do against De’Mornay Pierson-El and Brandon Reilly.

“It would have been a good old fun time to match up against them,” Seisay said.

For Seisay, though, that game against the BattleHawks changed everything on one play: a toss toward the Dragons’ sideline in the second quarter.

On that play, with one hit, Seisay’s season ended.

'It ... creeped up at me pretty fast'

He didn't envision getting to that point. When the game started, Seisay felt good.

“I came in, rotated with one of the other corners,” Seisay said. “I came in – they had me playing outside – and the first drive was kind of long and I was feeling good, feeling like I could compete with the guys in front of me.”

Then, on Seisay’s second drive of the game, he was playing inside, lined up as the Dragons’ nickel.

“It was a run play on my side, a little toss, a toss crack,” he said.
