Nick Emmanwori was one of the most polarizing prospects in the 2025 NFL Draft. His unparalleled athletic testing numbers made him an intriguing player, but his production on the field at South Carolina didn't always line up with the potential scouts saw in him.
When the Seattle Seahawks drafted the safety early in the second round, the pick wasn't necessarily met with immediate praise. Many analysts questioned his ability to make an immediate impact in Seattle.
Through the first half of the season, the pick looks like one of the steals of the draft. Emmanwori has been a crucial part of the Seahawks' success on defense.
