Help needed to identify a Seahawk player from 1984 team tagged jersey

[cjw]

Picked this up today at a Vancouver-area second hand store.

Nice to find a year and team tagged NFL jersey, from the 1980's, but need help identifying the player. "M. Johnson"...practice squad player?

Thanks Seahawks fans!

Thanks! Recycled jersey then? 3 yrs....is that typical? Wouldn't have thought it would be a LB jersey at size 42, but at 6'3" and 228...he could squeeze into this.

To aid in your effort. Living in Seattle I have come across many Seahawks gamers. I sold a jersey that was tagged from 85 but was actually used in 1987. Now after saying that and checking my resources online It was probably a training camp jersey.

M.L. Johnson never wore 29 he was always always 52 with Seattle. Could have been worn by him in Training Camp though.

Back in the 1980s, the Seahawks used to often recycle jerseys and/or issue them 1-3 years after the tagged year.
