Seahawks Sign 12 More UDFAs

May 4th, 2020 at 3:58pm CST by Zachary Links

The Seahawks can’t get enough undrafted rookies. On Monday, the Seahawks waived running back Adam Choice, linebacker Pita Taumoepenu, and defensive tackles Naz Jones and Shakir Soto to make room for a dozen undrafted free agents:

Josh Avery, DT (Southeast Missouri)
Patrick Carr, RB (Houston)
Seth Dawkins, WR (Louisville)
Gavin Heslop, CB (Stonybrook)
Anthony Jones, RB (Florida International)
Cedrick Lattimore, DT (Iowa)
Tyler Mabry, TE (Marylad)
Chris Miller, S (Baylor)
Josh Norwood, S (West Virginia)
Kemah Siverand, CB (Oklahoma State)
Marcus Webb, DE (Troy)
Dominick Wood-Anderson, TE (Tennessee)

Those players will join a UDFA class that already includes:

Anthony Gordon, QB (Washington State)
Aaron Fuller, WR (Washington)
Tommy Champion, OT (Mississippi State)
Debione Renfro, CB (Texas A&M)
Eli Mencer, DE (Albany)

Gordon, the successor to Gardner Minshew at Washington State, threw for an absurd 5,579 yards and 48 touchdowns in just 13 games. On the heels of a truly ridiculous year, he’ll push to serve as Russell Wilson‘s top backup.
