Training camp exposes harsh reality for Seahawks rookie in over his head

The Seattle Seahawks had 11 choices in the 2025 NFL draft, and that implies not all of them are going to make the active 53-man roster. If that were the case, that wouldn't be good for the team. Nearly 20 percent would be first-year guys, and that would mean a lot of on-field mistakes will be made.

Being a late-round pick means a player has an even smaller chance of being on the roster. There can be seventh-round steals, such as running back Chris Carson was for Seattle in the late 2010s, but those are rare. In other words, 2025 seventh-round choice Ricky White III was always going to struggle to make the team.
