NSU player with NFL sibling is on his own path

NORFOLK, Virginia  -  After their freshman year at Norfolk State, DeMarta' Johnson was hanging out at teammate Keenan Lambert's house. They talked. They relaxed. Then a rookie safety with the NFL's Seattle Seahawks strolled into the room.

"He was just walking around the house," Johnson said. "I was kinda startled. I was like, 'Yo, that's Kam Chancellor.' I recognized him from Virginia Tech. He's like, 'Yeah that's my brother.' "

Johnson wasn't the only one surprised. Most people, including some teammates, still don't know Lambert and Chancellor are half-brothers who grew up sharing a bedroom.

The different last names are part of the reason. Lambert does the rest, downplaying the connection.
