Kelton Moore, Fullback, Nevada
The Seahawks have always had a fullback on the active roster, although they are rarely utilized on offensive sets. Tre Madden held the role for two years before linebacker-turned-fullback Nick Bellore was signed last season.
Fullbacks in Seattle’s scheme are basically just special teams contributors, although they sometimes get asked to run routes out of the backfield.
So, while it seems unlikely Seattle would use a draft pick on someone with that limited role, Carroll has stated he loves targeting rookies who can help right away on the special teams, and while Bellore is under contract he could be cut to save $1.05 million in cap space – clearing a spot for someone like Nevada’s Kelton Moore.
Moore was a beast for the Wolf Pack in 2017, carrying the ball 164 times for 855 yards and four touchdowns, while hauling in 19 catches for 189 yards and another touchdown.
He wasn’t able to replicate that success in his final two seasons, but his size (five-foot-eleven, 225 pounds) makes him a tough runner to take down, and his experience out of the backfield could make him an appealing fullback option for the Seahawks, if they are willing to move on from Bellore.
