The Seattle Seahawks have selected Minnesota EDGE Boye Mafe with the No. 40 overall pick in the 2022 NFL draft.
Mafe (6-foot-4, 261 pounds) was one of the top EDGE prospects remaining on the board. He is an explosive athlete who has drawn comparisons to Rashan Gary as well as former Seattle star Michael Bennett. During his senior season at Minnesota, he totaled seven sacks and 10 tackles for a loss.
