With their offseason program all wrapped up, the Seattle Seahawks will open training camp at the VMAC on July 23, meaning the start of the upcoming season will be here before fans have a chance to blink.

In preparation for year number two under coach Mike Macdonald, I’ll be detailing every member of the Seahawks 90-man roster over the next several weeks, dishing out fun facts, exploring best and worst case scenarios, and predicting what to expect from each player entering the 2025 campaign. 

One of the most athletic linemen prospects in the 2025 draft class, will Bryce Cabledue be able to ascend up the depth chart and present a viable option for Seattle’s wide open right guard job?

### Bryce Cabeldue

**Height/Weight**: 6-4, 306 pounds

**2024 Stats**: Eight pressures, three sacks allowed

A product of the state of New Mexico, Cabeldue helped Clovis High School win a District Championship and garnered All-State honors in 2019,, turning that success into multiple scholarship offers, ultimately choosing to play at Kansas in the Big 12 conference. A former four-year starter for the Jayhawks, he logged over 3,000 snaps with the vast majority of those plays coming at right tackle, where he yielded under 10 pressures and posted a borderline-elite 98.3 percent pass block efficiency rate in 2024 according to Pro Football Focus. He turned that success into an East/West Shrine Bowl invite and performed well in Frisco while playing at guard and center.

Boasting an elite athletic profile for an NFL guard prospect, Cabeldue excelled as a zone blocker throughout his time in Lawrence, demonstrating the quickness and lateral agility necessarily to consistently execute reach blocks and climb to the second level. He posted excellent testing numbers at his pro day workout, including a sub-4.60 second short shuttle, to go with his stellar week at the Shrine Bowl. Following a 30-visit with the Seahawks, the team opted to bring him in as a Day 3 selection in the sixth round of April’s draft with a chance to compete at a wide open right guard spot against the likes of Christian Haynes and Anthony Bradford.

**Fun Fact**: One of the best zone blocking tackles at the FBS level last season, Cabeldue finished 19th among qualified blockers with an 81.0 zone blocking grade in the regular season on PFF, which ranked higher than first-round picks Kelvin Banks and Josh Conerly.

**Best Case Scenario**: A dancing bear with light feet who excels at blocking on the move and climbing to the second level, Cabeldue quietly works his way up from third-string reps early in his first training camp into contention for a starting job, pushing Haynes to the brink while making Bradford expendable as a potential trade/cut candidate as he captures a roster spot.

**Worst Case Scenario**: Still adjusting to playing inside after playing the bulk of his snaps at tackle in college, Cabeldue struggles with NFL power in the interior during preseason games and while his wide zone blocking impresses, it isn’t enough for him to avoid being waived as Seattle keeps its fingers crossed he slips through unclaimed to go to the practice squad.

**What to Expect in 2025**: It’s not uncommon for rookies, especially Day 3 picks, to open their NFL careers stuck with the scraps working with the third or even fourth-string offense in OTAs. That’s exactly how May and June played out for Cabeldue, who didn’t see any work with starters or projected backups as he acclimated to a new offense and a new position next to fellow rookie Mason Richman. When camp opens, the converted tackle will face an uphill battle trying to move up the depth chart, particularly with the possibility of Sataoa Laumea sliding back to the right side after starting six games on that side last season remaining in play.

However, Cabeldue’s 90th-plus percentile athleticism gives him a chance to be able to surprise. The Seahawks will be prioritizing movement and lateral agility skills in Klint Kubiak’s scheme with a wide array of zone concepts in the run game, and if his college tape as a tackle translates to the next level moving inside, the New Mexico native has a clear advantage over Bradford and could absolutely give Haynes a run for his money by making the right guard battle a three-horse race in August. With four guard spots at most likely to be up for grabs on the 53, the sixth-round pick is far from a guarantee to stay on the roster and will have to show he can pass protect against bigger, stronger defensive tackles, but he has the traits and prerequisite college experience against quality competition to add intrigue to the right guard competition next month at minimum.
