Anthony Gordon, QB, Washington State
Gordon was one of the most surprising players who went undrafted in 2020, but his loss was immediately the Seahawks gain as they moved quickly to sign him as an undrafted free agent.
Gordon joins Russell Wilson as the only quarterbacks on the roster, although it’s expected they will add at least one more to create some competition in training camp.
However, Gordon has a great chance to win the backup gig this year, after throwing for a whopping 5,579 yards in Mike Leach’s air raid offense at Washington State last season.
Gordon’s football awareness and arm strength have been called into question, likely leading to his freefall during the draft, but if there is any quarterback in the league who can help in those areas it is Wilson.
Gordon will have to beat out a veteran, potentially Geno Smith if he’s re-signed, to win a spot on the active roster, but he seems like a very likely candidate to at least remain with the team on the practice squad if he doesn’t win the team’s backup job outright.
