The Seahawks made a big element on the 2nd day of the NFL draft, running out to choose the No. 35 to select the security of the University of South South Nick Emmanwori.
In exchange for this choice, which was held by Tennessee, the Seahawks sent the choice n ° 52 in the second round and the choice n ° 82 in the third round to the Titans.
I was excited, “said Emmanwori at a conference call after being chosen. Really, I am happy that they came and had me. I felt good when I went there for the visit, I talked to the coaches, I had an excellent visit. I felt the most connected with them. So, if it was someone to do it, I knew it was going to be them.”
After making the choice, the Seahawks always hold the n ° 50 choice in the second round and the choice n ° 92 in the third round, as well as five other choices on day 3 of the draft.
Emmanwori, which measures 6 feet 3 inches, 220 pounds, gives the Seahawks a rare combination of size and athletics, having run a 40 -second dashboard of 40 seconds to the scouting of the NFL during the publication of a 43 -inch vertical jump and a leap with 11 feet and 6 inches.
And Emmanwori has the production to correspond to these physical traits, after having recorded 88 plated at the top of the team in 2024 as well as four interceptions, two of which he returned for affected and three plated for the loss. Emmanwori won the honors Associated Associated All-American from the first team last year, as well as the honors of the first All-Sec team.
Because of its size, Emmanwori made comparisons with the legend of Seahawks Kam Chancellor, and in fact, Emmanwori heard the Chancellor, via a direct Instagram message, during the first round of yesterday. These two have never met, but they both played the university for the current defensive coach of South Carolina, Torrian Gray, and Emmanwori is delighted to play for the team where the chancellor helped to transform the Legion of Boom into a better secondary of the League.
“Coach Gray trained him and he trained me, so coach Gray told me all the time we have a lot of similarities, he had compared our games a lot,” said Emmanwori. “Kam Chancellor is one of my favorite security, so that means that a lot of things in Seattle. I watched him all the time on television, I used to get his highlights before the matches. It’s crazy.”
