Seattle Seahawks sign Baylor basketball standout Mark Vital to practice squad as tight end

RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks are signing former Baylor basketball standout Mark Vital to their practice squad as a tight end, the team announced Thursday.

Vital, listed on the school's website as 6-5 and 250 pounds, was a starting forward on Bears' national title team. He was not selected in this year's NBA Draft and played for the Portland Trail Blazers in the NBA Summer League before announcing earlier this week that he was pursuing a career in the NFL.
