“But [Seahawks backup quarterback] Wallace did not fully comprehend just how original Zorn was until he drove past him one night on the way to dinner. The 50-year-old Zorn was riding home from work, making the 12-mile trip on his bicycle.
“A few days later, Wallace passed Zorn and his bike again — this time on the way to downtown Seattle for a Sunday game.
” 'That's just him,' Wallace said. 'He's a different character.' “
