As a kid, Bryan Walters '10 would don Seattle Seahawks football gear like thousands of other little NFL fans. As a high school football star at Juanita High School in Kirkland, Wash., he saw his hometown Seahawks in the team's only previous Super Bowl (2005) appearance. On Sunday, the former record-breaking wide receiver at Cornell, lands on football's biggest stage - Super Bowl XLVIII - playing for his beloved, boyhood-favorite Seattle Seahawks. "This is something I always dreamed of - being at the Super Bowl with the Seahawks, with the chance to win and get the first ring for Seattle," Walters said at Super Bowl Media Day. "You can't beat it." Walters will be the fourth Cornell alumnus to appear on a Super Bowl roster when his Seahawks play the Denver Broncos Feb. 2 at 6:25 p.m. at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J. The game will be televised nationally on the Fox network. In his first full season with the Seahawks, the 6-foot, 190-pound wide receiver played in four games and earned his first career start in week 17 of the regular season.
