Can Seahawks UDFA Nelson Ceaser carve out a roster spot?

The Seattle Seahawks may have skipped out on drafting an edge rusher, but they did add one of the more intriguing prospects as an undrafted free agent.

Houston’s Nelson Ceaser surprisingly didn’t get his name called on Day 3, which is where he was projected to go. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler gave Ceaser a fifth-round grade in his draft guide:

A two-year starter at Houston, Ceaser lined up as the field defensive end in former defensive coordinator Doug Belk’s four-man front, primarily in a two-point stance. After learning from former Cougars defensive ends like Payton Turner and Logan Hall, his production showed gradual improvement each season in college.
