Anyone who follows basketball knows that Sue Bird can handle the rock. But can she throw a football 30 yards downfield to find an open receiver?
The WNBA and Seattle Storm great attended a recent practice with the Seattle Seahawks as they were preparing to play the Los Angeles Rams later in the week.

The punt return she eventually caught – we are pretty sure that was going all the way if Bird did make that run.
It appears she not only caught punt returns, but also called plays and even met Russell Wilson himself. We like to call that Emerald City sports royalty.
