Tracking the Seahawks 2020 draft prospect visits at the NFL Combine

Each year at the NFL Scouting Combine, teams have the opportunity to get a sense of a player’s athletic traits as they run drills throughout the week. However, maybe even more importantly, they also get a chance to talk to the players in formal interviews as well as informally during the week.

In terms of formal meetings, each team has 45 (which is down from 60 in previous years), but there is no set limit on informal meetings. Tracking the visits can be difficult if a player doesn’t volunteer the information and there are multiple opportunities for teams to visit with prospects at the East-West Shrine Game, Senior Bowl, pro day workouts, local visits, and official visits to the team’s facility (each team gets 30 of these).

A look at the list of 2019 Seahawks pre-draft visits shows that L.J. Collier was the only player reported to have met with Seattle who was ultimately drafted by the team. After the draft, we learned that D.K. Metcalf and Pete Carroll shared their shirtless experience at the 2019 combine.

Corbin Smith of Seahawk Maven joined the Field Gulls podcast to talk about his experience at combine and the players he heard from directly about their team visits.
