Camp Takeaways: Jalen Milroe Continues to Impress, Seahawks Ready to Use Multitude of 2-Back Sets
Back in pads for the third time so far in training camp, the Seattle Seahawks once again saw a step forward from second-year quarterback Jalen Milroe, while the defense held serve after a couple of standout practices for the offense.
Reporter Corbin Smith teams up with Dan Viens of Seahawks Forever to dish out their thoughts on what they saw and heard in Seattle's ninth training camp practice, including Milroe's growing confidence playing the quarterback position, Brian Fleury's comments about implementing multiple two-back sets into his offensive scheme, and Rylie Mills' continued dominance in his first healthy NFL training camp.
Camp Takeaways: Ernest Jones, Seahawks’ Defense Dominates One-Sided Red Zone Session
Steadily drawing closer to the return of pads later this week, the Seattle Seahawks turned in an energized third training camp practice amid rising temperatures on Monday, culminating with an emphatic win for Mike Macdonald’s defense to close out the afternoon.
While Macdonald felt the Seahawks turned in another strong practice even without the crowd cheering them on from the berm, as expected from a Super Bowl-winning head coach, he also provided a bit of a challenge for his players with one more practice remaining on Tuesday before a deserved day off.
“Those days when the 12s are all out here. It's really special. But today was still great. Weather's awesome. Guys are in good spirits. A lot of stuff we need to work on. A long way to go,” Macdonald told reporters moments after practice concluded. “But let's focus on what we got to do next. So I'd like to finish practice a little bit better tomorrow to finish out this ramp period and then get a day off and be back at pads on Thursday.”

Beau Stephens Ready to Bring ‘Mauler’ Mentality to Seahawks’ Offensive Line
Surprises are the name of the game when it comes to the NFL Draft, and as Iowa Hawkeyes guard Beau Stephens learned on Saturday, Day 3 takes that lack of predictability to a new level.
With picks flying off the board early in the fifth round, Stephens sat out his couch alongside family and friends scrolling on his phone, seeing several other guard prospects coming off the board. Throughout the pre-draft process, the Seattle Seahawks had stood out as a team with great interest in him, including bringing the player to town for an official visit, but without the team having any selections in the fourth or fifth round, he began to wonder how long he would have to wait to hear his own name called.
But just like that, a caller ID from Washington unexpectedly popped up on his phone. With Stephens still on the board, general manager John Schneider and the Seahawks decided to dig into their stash of 2027 picks to trade back into the fifth round, acquiring the 148th overall pick from the Browns to draft him.
