With the 2026 NFL Scouting Combine in the rearview mirror and free agency well underway, the Seattle Seahawks and all 32 NFL teams are in the midst of scheduling and conducting their pre-draft top-30 visits.

In this process, each NFL team can bring in up to 30 players to their respective facilities for interviews and meetings with coaches as well as medical examinations and physicals. In addition, teams can also bring in local players for official visits, which do not count as one of the top-30 visits. While these on-site meetings are only part of the evaluation process leading up to the three-day event, they can play a critical role in determining where each player ends up on draft weekend.

In the past, Seattle has drafted several prospects who traveled to the VMAC for top-30 visits, including safety Nick Emmanwori, quarterback Jalen Milroe, and guard Bryce Cabeldue last season and linebacker Tyrice Knight in 2024. The team also met with cornerback Devon Witherspoon, guard Anthony Bradford, and safety Jerrick Reed in 2023, showing there’s a noteworthy correlation between these visits and who the team eventually drafts in April.

Keeping that in mind, here's a look at the players who reportedly have already met with the Seahawks or are scheduled to come to town for top-30 visits and local visits before the 2026 NFL Draft:

Top-30 Visits

Chris Johnson, CB, San Diego State

2025 Stats: 49 tackles, four interceptions, two interceptions returned for touchdowns

According to Ryan Fowler, the Seahawks and Chiefs both are expected to host Johnson for top-30 visits in the near future. Listed at 6-0, 195 pounds, Johnson isn’t the biggest cornerback in a deep draft class at the position and those parameters may knock him down a peg or two for some teams on their draft boards, but he plays the game well above his weight class and he’s a feisty run defender who rarely misses tackles. In four college seasons, per Pro Football Focus charting, he tallied 117 solo tackles with only eight missed tackles charged to his name for a fantastic 5% missed tackle rate. Spry in coverage with quick feet and plenty of burst to run with speedy receivers in space and downfield, as he confirmed running a 4.40 40-yard dash in Indianapolis, he should be able to handle man or zone coverage duties on the boundary in a variety of schemes while being an asset against the run. He had occasional issues at times in his freshman and sophomore seasons giving up explosive plays and some scouts will question his level of competition. However, after flashing his all-around skill set at the Senior Bowl and testing well at the combine, he would be a fantastic replacement for Riq Woolen in Seattle with Day 1 starter written all over him.

Andre Fuller, CB, Toledo

2025 Stats: 49 tackles, nine pass breakups, one interception

Per Jacob Infante of Pro Football & Sports Network, the Seahawks already have had Fuller to the VMAC for a top-30 visit as one of several interested teams. Offering above average size for the cornerback position, Fuller measured in at 6-1, 200 pounds at the NFL combine, running a rock solid 4.49 40-yard dash. That long speed doesn’t always show up on his film, however, as he surrendered three receptions of at least 35 yards last season with receivers occasionally getting behind him and struggling to recover. But he compensates for that lack of elite burst with physicality at the line of scrimmage as a steady press defender, redirecting receivers off the line and controlling the rep early, allowing him to stay in the hip pocket and create with his length in passing lanes for breakups. He made significant improvements as a tackler during his senior season for the Rockets and continuing to grow in that regard will be key to succeeding at the next level. The Seahawks currently don’t have much size at corner after losing Woolen and Fuller would be a natural developmental fit on the boundary with a shot to see snaps early.

Local Visits

Jonah Coleman, RB, Washington

2025 Stats: 758 rushing yards, 15 touchdowns

Per the player’s Instagram story, Coleman visited the Seahawks at the VMAC on March 16. Built with a stocky 5-9, 220-pound frame, Coleman isn’t the type of back defenders want to see coming at them full speed downhill, as he regularly shucks off would-be tacklers to rack up yards after contact in bunches and rarely goes down to arm tackles. He finished fourth in the nation among qualified backs averaging 4.34 yards after contact per carry during his standout junior season. He’s also far more explosive and slippery than would be expected given his size, as he ranked in the top 12 in the country in runs of 10-plus yards (38) that season. At the next level, he’s not likely to be as consistent of a home run threat without elite speed, but his combination of punishing running, reliable hands, and blitz pickup savvy in pass protection should set him up for early success as a three-down back. With Ken Walker III bolting to Kansas City and Zach Charbonnet likely out until October at the earliest recovering from an ACL tear, he would be an excellent candidate to keep in town and jump in as a quality change of pace back at minimum, if not starting early.
