The Seattle Seahawks have high hopes for their newest addition to the team, rookie Mike Morris. Morris, a defensive lineman from the University of Washington, was selected in the fourth round of the 2021 NFL Draft and is expected to make an immediate impact on the Seahawks’ defensive line.
Morris is a 6-foot-3, 300-pound defensive lineman who was a four-year starter at the University of Washington. During his time with the Huskies, Morris was a two-time All-Pac-12 selection and was named the team’s Defensive MVP in 2020. He also earned All-America honors in 2020 and was a finalist for the Polynesian College Football Player of the Year award.
The Seahawks are hoping that Morris can help bolster their defensive line, which has been one of the team’s weaknesses in recent years. Morris is expected to compete for a starting role at defensive end and will be counted on to provide a pass rush and help stop the run. He is also expected to contribute on special teams.
Morris has already impressed the Seahawks coaching staff with his work ethic and dedication to improving his game. He has been working hard in the offseason to get ready for training camp and is eager to prove himself in the NFL.
The Seahawks are hoping that Morris can help them improve their defense and become a more competitive team. With his size, strength, and athleticism, Morris has the potential to be a difference maker on the defensive line. If he can live up to his potential, he could be a key part of the Seahawks’ success in 2021 and beyond.
