Field Gulls
Another week in the NFL regular season, another minor roster move by the Seattle Seahawks.
It was announced that the Seahawks have signed rookie safety Maxen Hook to their practice squad. Offensive lineman Shane Lemieux was placed on practice squad injured reserve to make room for the former Toledo Rocket.
Entering the 2025 NFL Draft, Hook was viewed as a potential day three draft pick after seeing lots of success at Toledo. While at Toledo, Hook earned an All-MAC selection three times in four seasons. Statistically, Hook recorded 352 tackles, eight tackles for loss, seven interceptions, and 15 passes defensed. Despite this success in college, Hook went undrafted this past April and signed on with the Philadelphia Eagles. Hook was later released by the Eagles during final roster cutdowns.
Hook’s signing in Seattle could mean bad news for safety Julian Love and his lingering hamstring injury that kept him out of last week’s game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, this signing could also be simply because the Seahawks are impressed with Hook and his talents.
This would not be the first time a former Eagles undrafted free agent defensive back signed with the Seahawks practice squad and ended up seeing a career resurgence in Seattle. (Josh Jobe anyone????)
