Few players on the Seattle Seahawks roster have an unconventional path like linebacker Drake Thomas, who evolved from an undrafted free agent to a starter by the end of the 2025 season. With remarkable instincts and a relentless motor, Thomas excelled in a complex defensive system, finishing 2025 with 96 tackles, 10 tackles for loss, and 3.5 sacks. Despite struggles with missed tackles, his performance earned him a two-year contract worth up to $9 million. As he refines his tackling and coverage skills, Thomas shows potential for a sustained impact on Seattle’s defense.
