The Seattle Seahawks began training camp on Wednesday, July 23, officially kicking off the second season under head coach Mike Macdonald. Seattle’s rookie class — draft pick and undrafted free agent alike — will be among the most closely watched additions to the team during camp. As camp progresses, we will profile each of the team’s first-year players and project their chances of making the final 53-man roster in late August. Ascending from the NCAA’s lowest competition level to one of its highest, former Illinois State pass-rusher Jalan Gaines will try to continue defying the odds.
