The Seattle Seahawks made a league-high 11 selections during the 2025 NFL draft. A 10-win veteran team in 2024, the Seahawks shouldn't require all 11 rookies to play sizable roles this coming season. Instead, general manager John Schneider and head coach Mike Macdonald possess the benefit of bringing some of these first-year players along slowly.
We've identified three Seahawks rookies who should essentially redshirt in 2025.
Jalen Milroe, QB
Jalen Milroe is an athletic, but developmental dual-threat quarterback. A raw athlete, Milroe must develop into a more efficient passer. The Seahawks have Sam Darnold and Drew Lock at QB, meaning they shouldn't expect their rookie signal caller to accelerate his process.
