When the return game of the Seattle Seahawks struggled during 2022, they turned to the practice squad and gave Godwin Igwebuike a chance to show what he could do, and he capitalized on the opportunity. The 28 year old safety turned running back turned that opportunity into eleven kick returns for an average of 28.0 yards per return, with a long of 50 in sparking the return game of the Hawks.
That led to many fans hoping that Seattle would retain the services of Igwebuike in 2023, but as the offseason dragged on Igwebuike remain a free agent, unsigned as teams apparently lacked interest.
