Winners and Losers in 2026 Seahawks’ Rookie Mini-Camp

It should be noted that the players selected by the Seahawks in the Draft are generally considered the more talented players in the rookie mini-camp. It all started with running back Jadarian Price’s explosiveness, breakout speed, and athleticism. His drills as a pass-catcher were certainly a huge plus. Other notable winners were the next two drafted players, safety Bud Clark and Julian Neal. The two were highlighted on and off the field for their coverage, drills, and getting to meet former Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman.

Guard Beau Stephens was one of the busier players during the rookie mini-camps as he was playing his more natural position of right guard and preparing to play some left guard. The Seahawks are making it clear that he will be one of the more prominent backups for the Seahawks, with some playing flexibility. The Seahawks’ sixth-round pick in wide receiver Emmanuel Henderson Jr. might be one of the fastest and most explosive young players. He looked impressive in many position drills.

If there was an undrafted player who was great in position drills, it would be edge rusher Marvin Jones Jr. h The Seahawks are going to be determined to find a set of contributors who step up and add depth and rotations to the pass rush. Jones has the biggest upside to the undrafted rookie class, and if he can be refined and developed, he could be a big steal.

Losers: Non-Participants  

There were some players who left more to be desired from the short rookie mini-camp. Two players come to mind when discussing this, but they are players who didn’t participate in either of the two days.

With the Seahawks keying on observing edge rushers, Aidan Hubbard can easily add his name to the list. He wasn’t able to showcase his talent while other players like Jones were among the standouts. This doesn’t put Hubbard’s job in danger, but he is having, however, having to make the run to impress the coaching staff from behind.

Another player who had a chance to make a statement on top of the noise he has already generated is Tyrone Broden. He made the transition from wide receiver to cornerback going into the weekend. While he was talking about the mini-camp, he wasn’t able to participate in drills. As a second-year undrafted player in a new position, he needs as much production and evaluation as possible.
