The Seahawks’ seemingly endless search for a backup quarterback to Russell Wilson — a role that has been held by five different players the last five seasons — found them in Houston Saturday scouting XFL standout P.J. Walker as he led the Roughnecks against the Seattle Dragons.
ABC announcer Steve Levy mentioned during the opening of its telecast of Saturday’s Houston-Seattle game noting that the Seahawks had scouts in attendance to check out Walker, who has become the early sensation of the fledgling league in leading the Roughnecks to a 4-0 start.
The Seahawks do not have any quarterback under contract for the 2020 season other than Wilson.
