Hello and welcome to the Seahawks podcast.

I'm your host, Brandon Schultz, the Seahawks.

They've got an early start this morning, Sunday morning in Munich.

That's going to be a 6.30 a.m. Pacific kickoff time for the Seahawks.

The game is particularly meaningful, though, to German linebacker Aaron Donker,

a second year player on the Seahawks practice squad.

Here's what he had to say about his team getting to play in the first ever regular season NFL game in Germany.

Man, I think, like, I just set this up,

and I'm right in the middle of it.

And the beautiful thing is it's not about me.

It's about everybody who's just enjoying

and part of this journey to bring football overseas.

And I hope that, you know,

we inspire a person to follow this beautiful game of football.

Donker was signed by the Seahawks as part of the International Player Pathway Program in 2021,

and he said he has loaded up on tickets for this game.

I could have given out as many tickets I would have received, and I'm very, very grateful that they just, they're throwing some tickets at me. And I passed them out to the people

that, you know, I could thought of the first. And I apologize for everybody who I didn't get.

And I'm looking forward for the people who are coming.

And regardless of that, I think it's bigger even the people who's coming or not coming.

It's about us all coming together and seeing a bigger picture.

I don't want to say a number, but it's plenty.
