Bud Clark mentioned becoming friends with Neal before the draft, and said they have a growing friendship coming into Seattle. Mike Macdonald pointed out how much he loved the chemistry the rookie class had last year, so to see the building blocks of another tight-knit class coming together this early on is a positive they won’t take for granted.
"Who is this big old corner, bro?"

He also said he’s reconnected with his former Iowa teammate Mason Richman, who the Seahawks drafted last year.
Emmanuel Henderson Jr. expressed his willingness to play anywhere on the field, including special teams.
