Elevate Christian Network :: News and Events

NFL Football Coach Rocky Seto, 40, who has been serving as the Seattle Seahawks’ assistant head coach for defense announced that he was leaving the NFL and coaching all together to enter into ministry. “It’s something I’ve been thinking about for a long time, and more intensively over the last seven years,” Seto said. I’ve been thinking about it every year, praying about it and asking Jesus to see if this is the year, and this year it was ridiculously clear to us.

Following 15 years of walking the NFL sidelines with the Seattle Seahawks, Rocky Seto made a shocking announcement last week. The veteran coach had been apart of Seattle head coach Pete Carroll’s staff at the college and NFL level since 1999.
