Seahawks have 6 of NFL.com’s best undrafted free agents for 2024
It seems this is one area that will continue being a strength in the post-Pete Carroll era.
One thing the Seahawks consistently did well during the Pete Carroll and John Schneider years was signing quality undrafted free agents. From Doug Baldwin and Jermaine Kearse to Poona Ford, the team has gotten much better than average returns on their UDFA classes over the years. It seems this is one area that will continue being a strength in the post-Carroll era.
Last year Thor Nystrom at Fantasy Pros ranked Seattle’s undrafted free agent class as the best in the league, headlined by wide receiver Jake Bobo. This year’s crop is not ranked quite as high as 2023, but still managed a top-five finish. Nystrom has the team’s 2024 UDFA group ranked No. 4 in the NFL behind the Chiefs, Jets and Vikings.
“The UDFA emphasis carried over to Mike Macdonald’s first process as HC with another top-5 UDFA showing. The Seahawks signed 13 players on my pre-draft 500 board, including four I had draftable grades on – EDGE Nelson Ceaser, OT Garret Greenfield, TE Jack Westover, and RB George Holani.”
At a minimum we are expecting Nelson Ceasar, Jack Westover and George Holani to make the initial 53-man roster. In our latest projection we also have Dee Williams just making the cut as a return specialist.

We asked six big-time tight end prospects for their favorite college plays, and we have the All-22 to go with all of them.
INDIANAPOLIS — Unless you are somehow able to gain access to one of the rooms in which NFL teams meet with draft prospects during the week of the scouting combine, there’s no way to know what’s really discussed. One thing that is almost always happens is a tape-watching expedition in which the NFL people will have play examples dialed up that hopefully show what the prospects can do.
Here at Touchdown Wire, we do not possess the required juice to crash those rooms, but we are able to ask these prospects during their combine media sessions which plays from their college careers best typify their potential.
Today, we asked six tight end prospects — Texas’ Ja’Tavion Sanders, Kansas State’s Ben Sinnott, TCU’s Jared Wiley, Washington’s Jack Westover, Minnesota’s Brevyn Spann-Ford, and Penn State’s Theo Johnson for their favorite college plays. We’ve included the All-22 for all examples, and we hope you find their answers as enlightening as we did.

Looking at three players that should be on the 49ers NFL draft radar after an impressing in the college football national championship.
Before the NFL playoffs get underway with Wild Card Weekend, college football decided its champion in a highly-anticipated battle between undefeated Washington and undefeated Michigan in Houston.
Although Washington was billed as the team with the high-powered offense led by Heisman Trophy runner-up Michael Penix Jr., it was Michigan who struck first with a pair of explosive scoring plays in the first quarter.
While Washington threatened a comeback bid throughout the contest, Penix Jr.’s group could never get out of first gear against Jim Harbaugh’s stingy defense. Michigan capitalized late to extend their lead in a slugfest to secure the 2024 national championship with a dominant 34-13 victory.
With the college football season officially wrapped up, here’s a look at three players that may have caught the San Francisco 49ers’ attention for the NFL draft with impressive performances on Monday night.
