The Seattle Seahawks signed every Seahawks fan’s favorite Seahawks to the practice squad on Thursday: Troy“Aik”maine Pope. There isn’t much holding Pope back from stardom, but for the sake of full disclosure, let’s see if there could be any reason to believe that he wasn’t the biggest signing of 2016:
- Perhaps overshadowed in the Alabama high school football landscape (though he was the Class 4A Back of the Year) and undersized, Pope was a two-star recruit out of Anniston High. He initially committed to Mississippi State but it appears as though they may have pulled their offer, and he didn’t have many fallbacks, so Pope went to Jacksonville State instead.
