Excitement is growing as the Seattle Seahawks anticipate the debut season of their new head coach, Mike Macdonald. However, there’s a potential move in 2025 that could heighten fans’ anticipation even further.
According to ESPN draft analyst Jordan Reid’s initial 2025 NFL mock draft, the Seahawks are projected to select Travis Hunter, a versatile player from the Colorado Buffaloes, with the No. 11 pick. Hunter is seen as a perfect fit for Macdonald’s defensive strategy.
The only complication is that the Seahawks hope to have a later pick in the draft due to their anticipated strong performance in 2024. Additionally, Hunter might be chosen earlier in the 2025 NFL draft.
Reid contemplates whether Hunter’s NFL position would be as a wide receiver or cornerback, leaning towards the latter in his analysis from May 2, 2024, titled “2025 NFL mock draft: Reid’s early first-round predictions.” He sees Hunter as a cornerback at the professional level, envisioning him complementing the Seahawks’ existing defensive assets like Riq Woolen and Devon Witherspoon, while providing versatility.
Reid praises Hunter’s agility and knack for intercepting passes, highlighting his three interceptions from the previous season as evidence of his exceptional instincts on the field.
