Seahawks host potential underrated OL gem on pre-draft visit
Seahawks host potential underrated OL gem on pre-draft visit
The Seahawks are hosting Kansas' Bryce Cabeldue on a 30 visit this week, a source tells me. Cabeldue (6-4 ¾, 306) played both tackle spots in college, making 47 starts over five seasons, but he may project as a guard or center in the NFL; he worked at guard at the Shrine Bowl. — Brady Henderson (@BradyHenderson) April 8, 2025
Part of John Schneider's job as general manager of the Seattle Seahawks this offseason is to identify underrated talent in the 2025 NFL draft. The Seahawks are especially turning over every leaf in search of help on the offensive line. Finding a diamond in the rough would help improve the overall outlook.
That's why it's particularly notable that the Seahawks are hosting Kansas offensive lineman Bryce Cabeldue on a pre-draft visit, according to a report from ESPN's Brady Henderson.
Cabeldue primarily played right tackle for the Jayhawks, but NFL scouts project him to play guard at the next level. NFL.Com's Lance Zierlein assigned him a grade of 5.98/10, which equates to an average backup or special teams player. "Cabeldue has good pop on contact and can maul his way to wins," Zierlein writes. "He's more athletic than expected inside the box, but his range as a blocker will trail off."
Cabeldue earned an invite to this year's East-West Shrine Bowl, where he primarily played guard. The Seahawks possess multiple holes at guard, particularly on the left side following Laken Tomlinson's departure in free agency. Perhaps Cabeldue will be a target in the latter rounds, or via undrafted free agency.

Deion Sanders Makes Feelings Clear About Michael Irvin's Home Visit Amid Health Issues
Deion Sanders Makes Feelings Clear About Michael Irvin's Home Visit Amid Health Issues originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Colorado Buffaloes head coach and Pro Football Hall of Fame cornerback Deion Sanders' health issues have forced him to step away from Boulder. Advertisement The 57-year-old said he's doing okay on Wednesday and will send out a health update once he returns to the team. On May 30, he appeared on former NFL defensive back Asante Samuel's Say What Needs To Be Said' podcast and claimed 'what I'm dealing with is on a whole nother level' after losing 14 pounds. Even though it is currently unclear what he is dealing with, the health issues Sanders previously battled include blood clots in his legs, the amputation of two toes and the removal of the sides of his left calf, according to a USA Today report. As the former Dallas Cowboys player is recovering at his estate in Texas, fellow NFL legend Michael Irvin paid him a visit on Wednesday to hopefully raise his spirits. 'My bishop always said when your loved ones are dealing with any difficult issues, you must find ways to make them laugh and change their frequency,' the 59-year-old posted on X. 'I love you to life and forever, my brother @DeionSanders 🙏🏾🙏🏾❤️❤️.' Advertisement Sanders appreciated the kind words and showed his support for Irvin on Thursday. 'Thank you for coming to see me yesterday and boosting my spirits,' he wrote in a recent Instagram post. 'Y'all know Mike a fool 😂😂.' As his recovery continues, Sanders could return to the Buffaloes' sidelines in the coming weeks so he can mentor and lead one of the country's most notable teams. When the spring transfer portal opened on April 17, he recruited former Campbell Camels wide receiver Sincere Brown and Memphis Tigers offensive lineman Xavier Hill. However, Sanders isn't stopping there he plans to target every aspect of the team such as players, coaching staff and personnel, according to Sports Illustrated. He said the special teams unit looks solid but wants to improve every other area, including the quarterback, which will be given to Kaidon Salter or Julian Lewis.

Downing-Imagn Images Although there is no word on who is winning the quarterback battle between Salter and Lewis, one of them is expected to start under center in Colorado's first game of the regular season against the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets on Aug. 29.

Shaquill Griffin returning to Seattle Seahawks, agrees to 1-year deal
Veteran cornerback Shaquill Griffin is returning to Seattle after agreeing to terms of a new contract with the Seahawks on Wednesday. Per his agency, Griffin is signing a one-year, $3 million deal worth up to $4 million. Griffin was drafted by the Seahawks in the third round in 2017 out of UCF and made a Pro Bowl appearance in 2019. He left in free agency in 2020 and signed with the Jacksonville Jaguars, where he only played in 19 games over two seasons after suffering a back injury. Advertisement He then played stints with the Houston Texans, Carolina Panthers and, most recently, the Minnesota Vikings. Last season, Griffin made three starts while appearing in all 17 games. He recorded 41 total tackles and two interceptions, one of which sealed a Vikings win against the Arizona Cardinals in December. Over his eight NFL seasons, Griffin has played in 106 games, defending 70 passes and intercepting nine. Griffin, who will be 30 when the 2025 season starts, will add experience to Seattle's group of young corners, including Josh Jobe, Devon Witherspoon and Riq Woolen.

49ers have 4 players attending Tight End University this week
The San Francisco 49ers have wrapped up their organized team activities and minicamps, and they still have a few weeks to go before their training camp opens at the SAP Performance Facility with rookies reporting July 15 and veterans coming for July 22. While plenty of players are taking this time to rest and relax, 49ers tight end George Kittle is hosting his fifth annual Tight End University camp alongside three-time Super Bowl champion Travis Kelce and three-time Pro Bowler-turned-commentator Greg Olsen. The camp is a three-day event that incorporates film study and on-field drills to help tight ends become the best version of themselves when they're representing their team and the position across the league. Interestingly, Kittle isn't the only 49ers tight end attending this year, as he's joined by Luke Farrell, Brayden Willis and Mason Pline in Nashville, Tennessee. Farrell, 27, was a fifth-round pick of the Jacksonville Jaguars in the 2021 NFL draft following a collegiate career at Ohio State. In his four seasons with the Jaguars, he caught 29 passes for 282 yards before landing a three-year, $15.75 million deal with San Francisco this year to be the team's No. 2. Willis, 25, was the 49ers' seventh-round pick in 2023 out of Oklahoma, where he earned second-team All-Big 12 honors once. Over the last two years, Willis has appeared in 17 games, but his contributions have come mainly on special teams, as he's played just 73 offensive snaps. This year, he's looking to carve out a role for himself in Kyle Shanahan's system. Pline, 25, spent his college years at Ferris State and Furman from 2021-23 before San Francisco signed him as an undrafted free agent last offseason. He spent his entire rookie year on the practice squad and landed a futures/reserve contract in January. This year, he's hoping to earn a spot on the 53-man roster out of camp. In total, there are 74 tight ends attending Kittle's three-day camp, so Farrell, Willis and Pline could learn a lot from their peers to help them achieve their goals in 2025 and beyond.
