Playing in front of raucous fans for the first time in 2025, Sam Darnold and the Seahawks held a spirited practice on their home turf with plenty of big plays and an unfortunate injury during their annual football fest.

One of the biggest surprises for the Seahawks a year ago, Tyrice Knight believes he’s just getting started and playing next to Ernest Jones for a full season will help unlock his full potential in Mike Macdonald’s defense.

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.

Returning the vast majority of their starters and key reserves from last season, the Seahawks will have heightened expectations on defense in year two under Mike Macdonald. But plenty of questions remain for the unit heading into camp.

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.

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?

While the Seahawks have only used 18 percent of their draft picks on players who visited the team on 30 visits, those meetings at the VMAC have still been quite significant landing talent on draft weekend.
