BBK Staying in Seattle! Drafted by Seahawks in 5th Round

Husky after Husky has been drafted by Seahawk divisional opponents over the course of this NFL Draft. Well the Hawks finally had enough of seeing the local talent going elsewhere and nabbed Ben Burr-Kirven with the 4th pick in the 5th round, 142nd overall. BBK becomes the most highly drafted Washington linebacker since Shaq Thompson and Hau’oli Kikaha went in the first 2 rounds of the 2015 draft.

Burr-Kirven led the nation in 2018 in total tackles after the rest of the Husky depth chart was decimated from graduation and injuries.
