Analysis
Written By Corbin Smith

With the calendar recently flipping to July and offseason workouts wrapped up league-wide for the summer, the defending Super Bowl champion Seattle Seahawks will soon descend upon the Virginia Mason Athletic Center for the start of training camp, kicking off a much-anticipated 2026 season.

To celebrate the new incoming season, I will be ranking every member of the Seahawks 90-man roster over the next several weeks leading up to report day, providing detailed profiles, exploring best and worst case scenarios, and breaking down what to expect from each player entering the 2026 campaign.

Continuing with No. 50-46 on my annual rankings, an incoming rookie will enter the fold seeking a key backup role along the offensive line and a ball-hawking safety hopes a hard reset changing zip codes will pay major dividends jump-starting his career after a promising start.
