After missing out on him in the 2022 NFL draft, the Seattle Seahawks were finally able to get Sam Howell into their building.
Per The Athletic's Jeff Howe, the Seahawks "have been high on Howell for a while" prior to acquiring him from the Washington Commanders this week.
The Seahawks traded a third- and fifth-round pick in the 2024 NFL draft to the Commanders for Howell, a fourth- and sixth-round selection this year.
Howell told reporters during his introductory press conference on Friday he "spent a lot of time with" then-Seahawks quarterbacks coach Dave Canales on his visit with the team leading up to the draft two years ago.
