Competing for starting role in OTAs
Bradford (ankle) is healthy for the Seahawks' offseason training activities and has seen some work with the first-team offense, Justin Melo of Seahawks Wire reports.
ANALYSIS
Bradford suffered an ankle injury against Arizona in Week 12 of last season and remained on IR for the remainder of the campaign. The LSU product started at right guard in all 11 of the games he participated in last year, and he could be in the running to reprise that role in 2025. Christian Hayes is also an option to take on the starting role, as is Sataoa Laumea, who took over as the starter following Bradford's injury last season.

ANALYSIS
Bradford battled ankle and knee issues last season and again tweaked his ankle during OTAs earlier this offseason.

Lands with Seattle in fourth round
The Seahawks selected Bradford in the fourth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 108th overall.
ANALYSIS
The Seahawks traded up to select the prospect from LSU. Bradford is a hulking interior body (6-foot-4, 332 pounds), but he really explodes out of his stance and feels like a true mauler in the rushing attack. Given the Seahawks' emphasis on the running game, it's possible the 22-year-old could push Evan Brown for a starting spot at right guard.
