Keeping those leg muscles toned
Twenty-six-year-old place-kicker Norm Johnson has a lifelong devotion to kicking. He’s a former schoolboy soccer player and has been the Seahawks’ place-kicker since 1982.
Norm is part of the UCLA alumni corps that dot the rosters of the NFL. It’s not uncommon to find his family wearing Bruin blue and gold; Norm’s father Howard
played football and baseball at UCLA and his brother Mitch also played at the Los Angeles school.
The veteran kicker also has a special place in his heart for golf; it was on a golf course that he met his wife Lori, a native of West Seattle.
Norm and Lori now make their home in Redmond.

By CLARE FARNSWORTH
SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER REPORTER
NORM JOHNSON, No. 9
Then: Pro Bowl kicker who scored a club record 110 points (since broken), by converting on 20 of 24 field goals and 50 of 51 PATs.
Now: Selling real estate in Kitsap County. After playing nine seasons with the Seahawks (1982-90) and nine more with three other teams (Atlanta Falcons, Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles), Johnson returned to the Puget Sound area with his wife, Lori, and three sons -- Jordan, now 17; Jarrett, 14; and Jameson, 9. Of his '84 experience, Johnson said, "Those were exciting times, especially being a young player. I was excited to play on a team, let alone a winning team. It was great."
