Ty Olaf’s is an athletic freak. “Would have ranked top 3 out of 5 categories had he attended the draft.”

Had like a 41” vertical

Here is DT Robert Cooper. I really like this big man. He is former 4-star recurit. He is 6'1" 320 lbs and fairly athletic. Good UDFA signing by the Seahawks.

He's definitely entertaining to watch. And he's from my neck of the woods. Fun to imagine him becoming a pro bowler in 5 years, though that's a bit of a dream for now.

Opposing players running into a brick wall, over and over and over and...

This is a little freaky. He has my original name. He is playing my position. He went to my school. Now he is signed by the Seahawks. It's like he is living my dream life.

Really love this signing. He is a heck of a player. Love his motor. I would be shocked if he does not make the roster.

Imagine over the course of the next several years UDFA Cooper ultimately having far more success in the NFL than J. Carter. How hilarious would that be?

Probably just a training camp arm, but Ahlers’ highlight reel is impressive, as is his 28 TD/5 INT ratio. Of course, his level of competition must be taken into consideration though.

Looks like he’s bringing a friend as well…

Nice reel. He's an accurate passer, no question.
That’s what jumped out at me too (other than the fact that he’s a fellow lefty!).
Jim Zorn, Brock Huard, Holton Ahlers. Am I forgetting any other Seahawk Southpaw QBs?

The play at 1:44 is one of my favorites...he shows a Quickness that one doesn't normally associate with his Body Type. It's almost cartoonish how quickly he grabs and takes down the RB.

One that I m surprised by not getting drafted is...OLB /EDGE Andre Carter III. back in late Feb/23.....most mocks had him going in 2nd or 3rd rounds. Freak athlete at 6' 7"
Just has a really stunning lack of strength and power. Got embarrassed at the bowl games, may have lost every single 1v1 rep.

ECU is in the same conference as University of Cincinnati, UCF, SMU, University of Houston, Tulane. It’s not a Power 5 conference but some of schools have had loads of success in recent years.
