To celebrate the new incoming season, I will be ranking every member of the Seahawks 90-man roster over the next several weeks leading up to report day, providing detailed profiles, exploring best and worst case scenarios, and breaking down what to expect from each player entering the 2026 campaign. Continuing with No. 65-61 on my annual rankings, a veteran running back will look to rediscover his pre-injury groove and a pair of recent seventh round picks have a shot to vie for backup roles at their respective positions: ### **65\. Mason Richman, T** **2025 Stats**: Two games played with no statistics An All-State performer at Blue Valley High School in Kansas, Richman committed to Iowa to continue his football career, choosing the Hawkeyes over the likes of Kansas, Air Force, and several other Division I programs that made scholarship offers to him. He began his time in Iowa City at left guard, appearing in three games as a true freshman before receiving a redshirt, using that time to get stronger in the weight room. He slid out to left tackle as a redshirt freshman and earned a spot in the lineup, starting 12 games and earning Honorable Mention All-Big Ten honors. He started all 13 games in 2022, again receiving honorable mention accolades from coaches and media for his efforts. Over the course of his five seasons on campus, Richman started 52 games, including 43 consecutive games to wrap up his time with the Hawkeyes, even playing through a fractured leg at one point. He received All-Big Ten honorable mention honors each of his four years as a starter, proving to be a steadying, consistent cog for Kirk Ferentz’s line, finishing with a 97.3 percent pass block efficiency rate and 12 total sacks allowed. Following a solid pro day workout that included strong agility testing numbers, the Seahawks selected him with one of their three seventh round picks and he took snaps at right tackle as well as beginning to work at center in his first training camp with the team, eventually suiting up for two games as a reserve lineman while being a healthy scratch most of his rookie year. **Best Case Scenario**: Visibly stronger after a full offseason in an NFL weight room/training program, Richman turns in a fine preseason at the right tackle position while also showcasing improvements in limited action as a center, using that increased versatility to leapfrog over fellow second-year tackle Amari Kight on the depth chart and win a backup swing tackle position on the initial 53. **Worst Case Scenario**: Even with added muscle to his frame, Richman’s lack of length and average athleticism continue to create issues against NFL speed off the edge in exhibition games, leading to the Seahawks sliding him inside to guard, where he finds himself on the wrong side of the roster bubble in a crowded position group and receives a pink slip in final roster cuts before re-signing on the practice squad. **What to Expect**: Like many seventh round picks, Richman’s first season in Seattle could be summed up as an unofficial redshirt season, as he spent most of the year as a glorified practice squad player who only suited up for a pair of regular season games. But the organization remains high on the second-year blocker and he stood out during OTAs and minicamp, noticeably bigger and bringing extra pop behind his pads during sled drill work. If that translates to actual trench play going against defensive linemen in August once the pads come back out, he could jump back in the mix for one of possibly two reserve tackle jobs behind Abraham Lucas and Charles Cross, a role that he watched Kight snatch late last year away from him. The wild card that may decide his fate either making the roster or being waived will be whether or not the Seahawks continue to give him some run at center, as with proper development at the pivot spot, he could be a potential backup option next year with Olu Oluwatimi heading towards free agency next March. ### **64\. Nick Kallerup, TE** **2025 Stats**: Two tackles After garnering All-State honors at Wayzata High School in Minnesota, Kallerup chose to stay in state by signing with the Golden Gophers over other interested programs, redshirting his first season on campus and playing limited snaps on special teams through the 2021 season. Finally finding his way into the offensive lineup as a redshirt junior, he started four out of 13 games played and caught his first two career receptions, receiving an elite 82.0 run blocking grade from Pro Football Focus. He followed up with three receptions on just five targets in 2023, remaining a key lynchpin in Minnesota’s run game as a blocker. Though Kallerup remained a secondary option at best in the passing game in his final year of eligibility, he set career-highs in receptions and receiving yards while posting a 75% catch rate and once again receiving a strong run blocking grade (81.2) from PFF, helping the Golden Gophers rush for 115.6 yards per game as part of an offense that eclipsed 26 points per contest. He finished his college career as an All-Academic Big Ten selection in all five seasons with the program before going undrafted, quickly signing with the Seahawks as an undrafted rookie. One of the biggest surprises of the summer, his physical presence as an inline tight end along with special teams contributions led to a spot on the initial 53-man roster and he wound up playing in nine regular season games, logging 130 offensive snaps and receiving a steady 65.6 run blocking grade from PFF. **Best Case Scenario**: Not known for his receiving chops in the past, Kallerup builds off a stellar offseason program where he took advantage of AJ Barner and Elijah Arroyo being sidelined and receiving extra reps by flashing surprising hands in the preseason, catching three passes for 25 yards and scoring a touchdown, managing to lock down a spot on the 53 for a second straight season. **Worst Case Scenario**: While Kallerup’s nastiness as a run blocker remains a strength in his game, his lack of contributions in the passing game and somewhat limited positional flexibility as an H-back/fullback option end up being his downfall in a competitive position group as the Seahawks opt to waive him this time around and he gets swept up by another tight end-needy team on the wire. **What to Expect**: Few outside of the building expected Kallerup to stick on Seattle’s 53-man roster last summer, and yet, he showed why the coaching staff was so bullish on him by delivering as a physical inline blocking presence once he started to see game action midway through the season. From a ceiling standpoint, he’s not likely to ever become much of a receiving threat, which puts a serious cap on his overall upside. The return of veterans Brady Russell and Eric Saubert behind Barner and Arroyo could create a difficult numbers game for him to overcome, as keeping five tight ends may be a luxury the team can’t afford this time around. But his strength as a blocker and special teams ability should continue to keep him squarely in the mix for a reserve job, especially playing in a very similar offensive scheme under coordinator Brian Fleury. After making a few catches in OTAs, if he can keep flashing progress as a more well-rounded player, his odds of sticking again will go up significantly. ### **63\. Cody White, WR** **2025 Stats**: Three receptions, 90 yards, one touchdown After excelling as a multi-sport star in high school and spending his college career at Michigan State, White signed with the Kansas City Chiefs after the 2020 NFL Draft as an undrafted free agent. He was waived early on in training camp, then was with the New York Giants and the Denver Broncos before signing with the Pittsburgh Steelers in September of 2020\. He stuck around with the Steelers until final cuts of 2023, playing in 16 games for them in the previous two seasons, and then caught on with the Seahawks on two occasions before getting a futures contract after the season, finally finding some stability with an organization in the process. White mostly bided his time on the practice squad in Seattle in his first two years with the franchise, but the respected veteran did suit up for four games in 2024, with his best efforts coming in a Week 9 overtime loss to the Los Angeles Rams. In that contest, he caught two passes, generated a key defensive pass interference penalty, and blocked a punt on special teams. He also added a tackle on special teams two weeks later in a road win over Arizona. Though he wasn’t brought back on a restricted free agent tender, the Seahawks re-signed him on a cheaper one-year deal early in free agency, and as he has done with all of his opportunities, he made the most of his chances in nine games played in 2025, including a career-best 60-yard touchdown reception in a road win over the Commanders. His season ended with an unfortunate groin injury that prevented him from playing in the playoffs, but he re-signed with the Seahawks on March 18. **Best Case Scenario**: Staying on the right side of the bubble and benefiting from the departure of Dareke Young for Las Vegas in free agency, White enjoys a productive preseason on offense and special teams with a handful of catches and two tackles, beating out Ricky White III and rookie Emmanuel Henderson for the sixth and final receiver spot on the initial 53-man roster. **Worst Case Scenario**: Despite having a solid camp and preseason, White isn’t in the mix for an open gunner spot left vacant by Young on the punt coverage team and ultimately, Henderson or newcomer Irv Charles wind up winning that job coming out of exhibition games, pushing the veteran off the roster once again in final cuts with his latest return to the practice squad. **What to Expect**: Every time the Seahawks have granted White a chance to play meaningful regular season snaps, he has delivered. Back in 2024, he blocked a punt and generated a key defensive pass interference penalty in a tight home loss to the Rams, adding a couple of catches in that team debut as well. Last year, in the game where he received the most offensive snaps in Landover, he caught a quick out route and bolted down the sidelines, breaking a couple tackles along the way to a 60-yard touchdown. He’s a selfless player who will take on whatever role the team asks him to and do it well. With that said, he will turn 28 in November, the team has invested late round picks in Ricky White III and Henderson the past two years, and then they traded for Charles in June to further bolster the competition. In an ideal world, White III or Henderson would seize the final roster spot with both of them having multiple years of affordable club control. As a result, if things stand on even ground at the end of camp, the younger player likely will be the pick to stick, though it would not be advised to count White out. ### **62\. Andre Fuller, CB** **2025 Stats**: 49 tackles, one interception, 10 pass breakups (at Toledo) Tabbed as a zero-star recruit, Fuller started his college chapter at Arkansas Pine Bluff, enrolling with the FCS level Golden Lions in 2020\. The COVID pandemic pushed the scheduled season to the spring in 2021, and after appearing in 16 games over two seasons with the program, he entered the transfer portal, signing up for a little “MAC-tion” with Toledo. He began his time with the Rockets as a nickel cornerback, shifting briefly to safety as a rotational reserve in 2023 before eventually settling in as a boundary cornerback for a breakout senior year, allowing under a 43% completion rate and just one touchdown while producing an interception and nine pass breakups in coverage and coming up just short of 50 tackles as a willing run defender on the outside. Along with being named an All-MAC selection for the first time thanks to a stuffed stat sheet, Fuller received an East-West Shrine Bowl invite and participated in the NFL Scouting Combine, running a better-than-anticipated 4.49 40-yard dash as part of a strong workout in Indianapolis. After hosting him for an official 30 visit at the VMAC during the pre-draft process, the Seahawks invested one of their three seventh round draft picks on him in April, adding the physical defender to an overhauled cornerback group with a prime opportunity to complete for early playing time on special teams and potentially position himself for defensive snaps down the line. **Best Case Scenario**: Viewed by many draft pundits as an early Day 3 selection, Fuller plays up to that talent in the preseason with physical press coverage on the outside and gets his hands on a pair of pass breakups, outperforming fellow rookies Julian Neal and Michael Dansby while also pitching in on kick/punt coverage teams, managing to snag one of the final spots on the 53. **Worst Case Scenario**: Without elite speed or change of direction skills, Fuller gets exploited by quicker NFL receivers during training camp and the preseason, struggling to stay in phase consistently and giving up several catches in exhibition games, falling towards the bottom of the depth chart before eventually being waived and brought back for further development on the practice squad. **What to Expect**: In the aftermath of Riq Woolen’s exit for Philadelphia in free agency, no position may have a more wide open competition underway on Seattle’s roster than cornerback, and Fuller will be thrown into that mix right out of the gate. While he isn’t the most fleet of foot corner, he plays with the physicality and toughness that Mike Macdonald demands at the position and he’s at his best when he can play tight to the line of scrimmage and press opposing receivers into oblivion, making him a quality scheme fit with the safety talent on the roster. Being the second of three cornerbacks drafted by the team will create a trickier path to defensive snaps, as there’s a logjam with third round pick Julian Neal, seventh round pick Michael Dansby, and veterans Nehemiah Pritchett, Noah Igbinoghene, and Shemar Jean-Charles vying for snaps on the boundary. Getting off to a fast start will be crucial, as he will need to start seeing second team reps early in camp and perform well with those opportunities into the preseason to have a shot at securing a spot on the 53\. Otherwise, a practice squad spot may be inevitable out of the gate. ### **61\. Kenny McIntosh, RB** **2025 Stats**: DNP - Injured Reserve Following an outstanding prep career at University School in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, McIntosh enrolled at Georgia and immediately contributed as a true freshman, rushing for 174 yards and earning Special Teams Newcomer of the Year distinction. Though stuck behind future NFL backs James Cook and Zamir White on the depth chart, his production increased to 251 rushing yards in 2020 and 328 yards in 2021 as he gradually took on a greater role in the Bulldogs' offense. Finally serving as the lead dog as a senior, he set career-bests in rushing yards, receptions, and total touchdowns, helping the program repeat as national champions. Despite that production, however, he fell to the seventh round in the 2023 NFL Draft after a subpar combine workout before the Seahawks scooped him up with the 237th selection. McIntosh started off on a strong note to open his first NFL training camp, only to suffer a knee sprain during the team’s annual Football Fest scrimmage at Lumen Field, which landed him on injured reserve to open the season. He ended up playing in just three games, not receiving a single carry after he returned from the injury. He bounced back nicely during his sophomore season, taking advantage of extended opportunities late in the season with Ken Walker III nursing an ankle injury, finishing with 172 rushing yards and an impressive 5.5 yards per carry average. That momentum didn’t get to carry over to 2025, however, as the back tore his ACL during a special teams drill only a few practices into training camp last August, ending his season before it began. He did not participate in OTAs and minicamp this spring, though he’s expected to be ready to go early in training camp. **Best Case Scenario**: All the way back from the knee injury that wiped out his 2025 campaign, McIntosh comes out running hot early in the preseason and looks the part of the back who appeared to be on the verge of a breakout two seasons ago, outperforming George Holani and Emanuel Wilson to the point where he ends up pushing the latter off the roster and winning a roster spot as the Seahawks third back. **Worst Case Scenario**: Still with a hitch in his step as recently as minicamp, McIntosh opens camp on the PUP list and isn’t back to full participation until two weeks in, preventing him from having enough time to make up ground on the competition, and with pedestrian production in limited preseason action, Seattle opts to waive him with hopes of retaining him on the practice squad. **What to Expect**: Just 18 months ago, McIntosh showed he had the tools to be a quality NFL back, proving to be Seattle’s most efficient runner in the second half of the season while adding receiving prowess to the equation. Going into training camp last year, winning the third down back job seemed like a slam dunk for him, but as has been the case throughout his NFL career thus far, the injury bug nipped him and prevented him from making an impact. Even with Walker in Kansas City and Zach Charbonnet coming back from his own ACL injury, the fourth-year back now finds himself in a precarious position. He hasn’t been healthy enough to do anything in the offseason program and the Seahawks used a first round pick on Jadarian Price along with signing Wilson, while Holani performed well in the playoffs last year and will get to compete for the starting job in camp. Those three players should open camp ahead of McIntosh in the pecking order, and even Jacardia Wright may be ahead of him given the long layoff. It’s not out of the question he could play his way back into the rotation, but if he misses any time at the start of camp, it will be difficult to catch up in a revamped backfield. **Previous 90-Man Rankings** [91-86](https://www.emeraldcityspectrum.com/ranking-seattle-seahawks-uso-seumalo-90-86/) | [85-81](https://www.emeraldcityspectrum.com/ranking-seattle-seahawks-maxen-hook-85-81/) | [80-76](https://www.emeraldcityspectrum.com/ranking-seattle-seahawks-bobby-hart-aj-finley-80-76/) | [75-71](https://www.emeraldcityspectrum.com/ranking-seattle-seahawks-amari-kight-jr-singleton-75-71/) | [70-66](https://www.emeraldcityspectrum.com/home/ranking-seattle-seahawks-michael-dansby-70-66)
