INDIANAPOLIS — A year ago, when Amanda Ruller attended the NFL scouting combine for the first time, she was hoping to make some new acquaintances in the football coaching profession she had chosen to pursue.
When she attended it again last week she learned what a difference a year could make, as it now felt almost felt like going home — specifically when she ran into any of the Seahawks coaches.
It was at the combine in 2022 when Ruller, who had just finished her first season as a running backs coach at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, handed her résumé to anyone she could. One eventually landed in the hands of Seahawks personnel.
