While the Seahawks would have preferred to leave Lumen Field with a victory on Thursday night, a ballyhooed crop of incoming rookies led by Grey Zabel shined in an impressive debut for the group as a whole. What stood out on film?

While the Seahawks nearly coughed up their first preseason game, strong starts by their heralded rookie class helped the team build a 13-point halftime lead in an eventful exhibition opener at Lumen Field.

All eyes will be on the Seahawks latest draft class as they make their NFL debuts in Thursday’s preseason opener against the Raiders, but they aren’t the only ones to watch closely in the first game action of the season at Lumen Field.

Hitting the practice field without their head coach, the Seahawks engaged in a physical Monday practice with the offense getting the upper hand thanks to excellent red zone execution.

Seeking a downfield threat to help replace DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett, the Seahawks may have found a possible solution in ascending rookie Tory Horton, who became the latest member of the 2025 draft class to shine in his first training camp.

Heeding the call from coach Mike Macdonald, the Seahawks rebounded nicely on offense in Tuesday’s second padded practice behind excellent efforts from reserve running backs vying for the third down role.

Continuing to be dialed in to start their first training camps with the Seahawks, Sam Darnold and Cooper Kupp led the show as several receivers stood out during the team’s second session at the VMAC.

While the Seahawks will have the vast majority of their key players on defense back from last season, it was a veteran newcomer who had all eyes gravitating towards him as the team kicked off their 50th training camp.

Winds of change blew through Seattle this offseason with the Seahawks changing quarterbacks and offensive coordinators among other moves, leaving no shortage of questions regarding what to expect from the unit this upcoming season.

Speculated as a cap casualty prior to free agency in March, the Seahawks opted to keep Noah Fant, suggesting they had a role in mind for him in Klint Kubiak’s offense. So why is he suddenly leaving town two days before training camp?

Becoming the first player selected 35th overall to net a fully-guaranteed rookie contract, the Seahawks will have uber-athletic safety Nick Emmanwori back on the field well before the first full squad training camp practice.

Two of the Seahawks most exciting rookies began to show their promise on the practice field, while highlight worthy theatrics took center stage from Jaxon Smith-Njigba and the receiving corps in the final open OTA.

Tight ends should be a bigger focal point in the Seahawks offense with Klint Kubiak now calling plays and both DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett playing elsewhere. How might the depth chart start to shake out in OTAs?

As first-round pick Grey Zabel and the rest of the Seahawks rookie class prepare for their first OTAs alongside returning veterans, what are realistic expectations for all 11 players heading into their first season?

The Seattle Seahawks may look to move on from veteran Noah Fant if their first- and second-year tight ends pan out.

Taking advantage of a sunny day in early May, Seahawks rookies hit the practice field for the first time on Friday with Jalen Milroe and Nick Emmanwori leading a surprisingly smooth minicamp session.

Both of the Seahawks top two selections will have big shoes to fill numbers-wise as they begin their NFL careers, but the opportunity will be presented to write their own legacies in the Pacific Northwest as part of the 2025 draft class.

With OTAs set to kick off next month, the Seahawks have several intriguing competitions set to commence both for starting roles and roster spots. Who has the inside track for a roster spot in September?

Stockpiling players oozing with athleticism, positional flexibility, and swagger, John Schneider and Mike Macdonald couldn’t have been much happier coming out of the 2025 NFL Draft. How did they fare with each of their 11 selections?

Capitalizing on an abundance of picks and benefiting from their first full offseason together, Mike Macdonald and John Schneider were all smiles at the VMAC coming out of the 2025 NFL Draft, confident the Seahawks’ latest draft class took them a big step closer to fulfilling their coach’s vision.
