The Seahawks have reached the home stretch ahead of the 2023 NFL draft, beginning two weeks from Thursday.
At this time of year teams are refining their draft boards and meeting with potential picks. The latest reported prospect meeting comes via Justin Melo at the Draft Network, who says Seattle met with Colorado State linebacker Dequan Jackson at his pro day.

At his pro day Jackson measured in at 6-foot-2, 225 pounds and ran a 4.65 forty. He also posted a 33.5″ vertical, a 9’11” broad jump and 15 bench press reps.
Jackson comes with five years of experience and three as a team captain. In 47 games with the Rams he totaled 4.5 sacks and 322 combined tackles, including 27 for a loss. He peaked last season with 100.
The Seahawks have also reportedly met with two other inside linebacker prospects from the 2023 NFL draft class so far: Daiyan Henley from Washington State as well as Ventrell Miller from Florida.
