One of the clearest indicators of whether the Seattle Seahawks will be interested in an EDGE prospect or not is their short shuttle time. Though their threshold for that test, 4.3 seconds, isn’t overly exceptional, they often target those who do test exceptionally in the drill.
Frank Clark (97th percentile), Cassius Marsh (84th percentile) and Bruce Irvin (96th percentile*) all had the quickest short shuttle among EDGEs in their draft class, and all three had their names called by the Seahawks on draft day.
*Irvin’s 96th percentile short shuttle is compared to outside linebackers, not defensive ends.
