This week commences mandatory minicamp, which for the Seahawks runs from June 6-8. I’ll guess that Bradford starts at least 5 games at RG this season – and finishes the season as the starter whether Haynes is available or not.We’re inside of 100 days until the Seattle Seahawks begin their 2023 regular season campaign, but in the meantime they’re in the middle of their offseason workout program. Seattle is looking for a long-term answer at RG and would likely lean towards a young player like Bradford all other things being equal. Because of this, I do think it’s more likely than not that Bradford starts at some point this season whether it’s due to injury or him outperforming Haynes. He’s also been limited by injuries in the past which is part of the reason the Seahawks drafted Bradford for competition in the first place. Seattle only gave Haynes a one-year deal in the offseason, so it’s not as if he has the starting RG spot locked up. Rookie season predictionīradford will likely begin training camp as the second-team RG behind incumbent Phil Haynes. As a fourth-round pick, the expectations placed on Bradford won’t be through the roof, but these athletic freaks – who can also play – are the kinds of players that I’m all for adding to the competition. The second-to-last clip is especially encouraging because it shows his athleticism in action as he pulls across the line and blows the defender out of the play. That entire video is fun to watch because Bradford just likes to hit guys.

Seahawks fans, one of ‘my guys’ in this draft was Anthony Bradford. Check out the video below and notice who he dumps in the very first play. And THEN, I saw some clips of him and was fully on board.īradford is a big dude who can bury defenders when he locks them up. Then, I found out how athletic Bradford was and was even more intrigued. Gut reaction to the pickĪt this point, I was happy with Seattle adding some beef to the trenches with both Haynes and Damien Lewis facing impending free agency after the 2023 season. Let’s hope for no poison pill down the line with Bradford. Still, he’s got a similar athletic profile which is a good baseline to start with. I get it, there’s a very low likelihood that Bradford ends up as even half the player Hutch was. Maybe you already noticed the even more exciting comp – Seahawks legend and current OL consultant Steve Hutchinson. They’re both extremely strong and athletic…seems like the Seahawks have a type. Actually, Haynes isn’t a bad comparison for Bradford. No question about his fit in Seattle, though, as he slots in at RG to directly compete with Phil Haynes. He was also shuffled around a bit, starting at three different positions including tackle when John Schneider personally attended one of his games. One of the main negatives of Bradford is his inexperience as he only started 17 games at LSU, though he appeared in 29 games in his college career.
