The Seattle Seahawks are kicking off rookie minicamp this weekend at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton, and the roster of tryout players has been revealed—offering a fascinating glimpse into the team's scouting depth and future potential. While the headline names from the draft class and signed undrafted free agents will be on the field, the real intrigue lies in the dozens of unsigned players vying for a shot at an NFL contract, including a few non-rookies still chasing their dream.
According to a list compiled by Bob Condotta, these invited players are separate from Seattle's 2026 draft class, signed undrafted free agents, or reserve/future contract players like Chris Paul Jr., who spent last season on the practice squad without seeing game action. It's a motley crew of hopefuls, each with a unique story and a chance to impress the coaching staff in a high-stakes audition.
One standout name is Gee Scott Jr., the son of longtime Seattle radio personality Gee Scott Sr. The younger Scott spent last season on the practice squads of both the New England Patriots and Washington Commanders, but he never played in a regular-season game. That makes him eligible for this tryout, and his local roots add an extra layer of narrative to an already compelling weekend.
If you're wondering about Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe, he won't be on the field—he accrued a full season and is under contract, so he's ineligible for rookie minicamp. But for the rest of these tryout players, this weekend is a golden opportunity to turn a dream into reality. Whether they're looking to make the roster or earn a practice squad spot, the Seahawks are giving them a chance to prove they belong.
