Mississippi State LB Nathaniel Watson to meet with Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks are gearing up in full force for the 2024 NFL draft. In the midst of the pro days around the country, teams are setting up official visits for prospects.

Next up for the Seahawks is Mississippi State linebacker Nathaniel Watson. Linebacker is a considerable position of need for Seattle, as both Bobby Wagner and Jordyn Brooks have moved on to the Commanders and Dolphins, respectively. Seattle did address the position in free agency with Tyrel Dodson and Jerome Baker, but depth is still a concern.

Watson spent all six years of his collegiate career with the Bulldogs, and his best season was his senior campaign of 2023. Watson logged 137 total tackles and 13 sacks, as well as recovering two fumbles and snagging an interception.

Watson’s official NFL draft profile has him listed as an backup/special teams player, with an emphasis of being “better than average” when utilized in blitzes. This would certainly help round out depth at the linebacker position for the Seahawks.
