The Seattle Seahawks added UTEP linebacker Tyrice Knight, and Michigan tight end AJ Barner with their two selections in the fourth round to kick off the final day of the 2024 NFL Draft.
The Seahawks made a trade early in the round with the Denver Broncos to move back 16 spots in the round while adding a fifth-round pick to their allotment. That left Seattle with two picks just four selections apart in the middle of the fourth round.Knight was a junior college transfer to UTEP from Independence Community College in Kansas. In three years for the Miners, Knight played two years as an outside linebacker before moving inside for his final season.
I feel like I can play good in the run game, good in the pass game. Just an all-around backer from sideline to sideline. I think I can do anything a coach asks me to do it without hesitation. … I feel like I'm a perfect linebacker for the Seahawks and I'm glad they made this decision."The Seahawks had nice in for a visit prior to the draft as one of their "30" allotted visits in the pre-draft process.
