2026 NFL Combine: 6 Potential Seahawks Targets Who Impressed on Day 3 of Workouts

Ushering in the next stage of the NFL offseason for the Seattle Seahawks and all 32 teams, the annual NFL Scouting Combine kicked into full throttle with running backs and receivers participating in on-field athletic testing and drill work on Saturday.

Which players who could be on Seattle’s radar heading into the 2026 NFL Draft improved their stock the most? Here are six prospects who starred on Day 3 at Lucas Oil Stadium:

Mike Washington Jr., RB, Arkansas

Fitting the bill of a late bloomer, at least by college standards, Washington toiled for three seasons in Buffalo as a backup, though he did rush for seven touchdowns as a sophomore in 2022. He jump-started his career by transferring to New Mexico State, where he became the focal point of the Aggies’ run game with 725 rushing yards and eight touchdowns, making him a coveted transfer portal recruit as a grad transfer in the spring of 2025. Making the massive jump to the SEC, the back enjoyed the finest year of his collegiate career for the Razorbacks, eclipsing the 1,000-yard mark with eight rushing touchdowns while averaging 6.2 yards per carry to garner Second-Team All-SEC honors.

Corbin Smith

After teaching and coaching high school football for five years, Smith transitioned into sports reporting in 2017 and spent seven years with Sports Illustrated as a Seahawks beat reporter before launching the Emerald City Spectrum in February 2025. He also has hosted the Locked On Seahawks podcast since 2019.
