Perhaps the surest way a player drafted on the third and final day of the NFL draft can stick with the team that selects him is by living by the proven adage “the more you can do.”
The more safety Ugo Amadi can do is why the Seahawks drafted him.
Seattle made Amadi its third choice in Saturday’s fourth round as much for his extensive experience playing nickel defensive back inside against slot receivers as for his listed job as the University of Oregon’s free safety the last few years.
