When the 2017 rookie minicamp starts at the Seattle Seahawks’ practice facility Friday, it will be a first chance to see the 11 draftees in their Seattle workout uniforms and begin to evaluate the new talent. Final roster cuts are still a long way away but one of the intriguing storylines will be who among the undrafted free agents might elevate their chances of making the team in September. The Seahawks have become known in recent years for their inclusion of undrafted players, with nearly half the roster comprised of former UDFAs in 2016 including seven such rookies who initially made the 53-man group—George Fant, Trevone Boykin, DeAndre Elliott, Tanner McEvoy, Tyvis Powell, Tani Tupou and Nolan Frese—only one fewer than the drafted rookies, and ahead of two draft picks who didn’t make it.
