Even though they are thin at the position, the Seattle Seahawks didn’t select any linebackers in the 2021 NFL draft but they have added players at the spot on back-to-back days.
On Tuesday Seattle was allocated Aaron Donkor via the NFL International Player Pathway Program and on Wednesday, the Seahawks claimed linebacker Nate Evans following his waiver by the Jaguars.
Evans originally entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent last year out of UCF and spent the season on Jacksonville’s practice squad. He will now join Donkor, Bobby Wagner, Jordyn Brooks, Cody Barton, and Ben Burr-Kirven on the Seahawks roster.
Seattle will likely add more depth at linebacker during the next wave of free agency.
