Seahawks rookies impress on day one of minicamp
Day one of Seattle Seahawks rookie minicamp is in the books, and here were some of the standout moments from the day.
We got our first look at Jadarian Price in Seahawks gear, warming up, and doing running back drills. His natural running style already looks great in college navy and action green.
Despite being drafted just a week ago today, Julian Neal continued to win the hearts of fans with his draft night hat story . Every detail of this situation is perfect, down to him knowing the exact number of years his auntie’s been a Seahawks fan being 12.
Here’s a look at Neal on the field in a drill:
Deven Eastern showed up in one video as well:
Bud Clark mentioned becoming friends with Neal before the draft, and said they have a growing friendship coming into Seattle. Mike Macdonald pointed out how much he loved the chemistry the rookie class had last year , so to see the building blocks of another tight-knit class coming together this early on is a positive they won’t take for granted.
When Richard Sherman made a surprise visit , Neal and Clark were both ecstatic in a different way. Andre Fuller also said he’s “locked in with them,” and all of a sudden, the Seahawks new defensive backs all sound like they’re ready to build something serious together from day one.
Beau Stephens mentioned the familiarity between his college playbook at Iowa and his new one with the Seahawks, and how excited he is for real football activities instead of the athletic testing of the pre-draft process. He also said he’s reconnected with his former Iowa teammate Mason Richman , who the Seahawks drafted last year.
Emmanuel Henderson Jr. expressed his willingness to play anywhere on the field, including special teams. Fuller mentioned getting help from former Toledo teammate Maxen Hook , who’s helping him get acquainted with his new playbook. Michael Dansby expressed his gratitude just to be putting on the Seahawks uniform, calling it a “true blessing to be out here.”
