George Kittle confirms story of Seahawks narrowly missing out on drafting him

Back in 2018, Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times reported that John Schneider said the Seahawks were interested in drafting All-Pro Tight End George Kittle and just barely missed out. Apparently, things got a bit more intense on draft day than originally known. According to Matt Verderame of Fansided, the Seahawks were working a deal to trade up for Kittle just as he was being selected by San Francisco.

Just wrapped a great interview with George Kittle for Stacking The Box on @FanSided.

Fun nugget: On Kittle's draft day, the Seahawks called his agent to say they were trading up for him.
