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.

Practicing in front of the media for the first time in OTAs on Monday, Sam Darnold had an up-and-down session running the Seahawks first-team offense, while a fired up defense capitalized with several red zone turnovers.

As the Seahawks launch the final phase of their offseason program with OTAs, these non-contact practices carry plenty of importance heading into the upcoming season, starting with a lot of new pieces on offense from both a personnel and coaching standpoint.

With two of the biggest stars in franchise history now gone, the Seahawks will start anew at receiver with several quality veterans and a pair of incoming draft picks set to duke it out for reps behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp this spring.

New quarterback, new receivers, new offensive coordinator and offensive coaching staff. That’s no problem for Mike Macdonald, whose visions for the Seahawks in 2025 remain focused on pursuing the Lombardi Trophy.

Injuries have slowed down Cooper Kupp in recent seasons, but his remaining strengths should allow him to mesh well in Klint Kubiak’s scheme alongside Jaxon Smith-Njigba as part of a rebuilt Seahawks receiving corps.
