The 6-foot-2, 211-pound Bedford, Ohio native left college after the 2015 season and went undrafted. He signed a free-agent deal with the Seahawks and made the team. Powell mostly played special teams for Seattle, recording three tackles in eight appearances. The Seahawks cut him prior to the start of the NFL Playoffs.
