The Seattle Seahawks have signed seemingly their 47th tight end of the offseason, and this one is a former basketball player.
On Friday, the team announced both the previously reported waiving of WR Darvin Kidsy as well as the signing of Michael Jacobson, who hasn’t played any organized football since high school.
Jacobson started his college basketball life at Nebraska before transferring to Iowa State, where he was a starter and played in every game. He helped lead the Cyclones to the NCAA Tournament in 2018-19, averaging 11 points and 6 rebounds per game.
