No Sophomore Slump: Seahawks’ Nick Emmanwori Set to Make Superstar Leap

The Seattle Seahawks being allowed by the other 31 NFL teams to trade up in the second round to steal away Nick Emmanwori in the 2025 NFL Draft might be something every single one of those franchises regrets for years to come.

Emmanwori to Seattle reeks of teams pulling their hair out and saying, “We let that guy go there?!”

Yes, the Seahawks, with their defensive wizard of a head coach in Mike Macdonald, were able to hand-pick the queen of his proverbial chess board. His next Kyle Hamilton, his former star pupil in Baltimore.

Honestly, the Hamilton comparison might be underselling what Emmanwori could become. The Notre Dame-turned-Raven star has three Pro Bowls and two First Team All-Pro bids to his name. Does anybody reading this think Emmanwori can’t exceed that in Seattle?
