The Vikings have requested permission to interview Seahawks assistant GM Nolan Teasley for their vacant GM position, sources tell @NFLonCBS. Teasley has been with Seattle over a dozen years, including the past two seasons as AGM, while winning two Lombardis.
George Kittle talks about the draft process and how he thought he was going to be drafted by the Seahawks:
“I had 1 phone call at the end of the 4th round. My agent called me and said the Seahawks were looking to draft me with the 3rd pick and then literally my agent was on the phone with Seattle when the Niners called me to draft me with the 2nd pick of the 5th round. I thought I was gonna go to Seattle and then I ended up going to the San Francisco 49ers.”

#Seahawks WR Jaxon Smith-Njigba used to wear size 12 cleats in college and dealt with hamstring issues, per Director of Equipment Erik Kennedy.
Seattle got him down to a size 10 using foot scanning—and he hasn’t had the issue since.
“We’re always trying to find little edges to help players. … It’s helped him. He hasn’t missed time.”
