The Seattle Seahawks have left a lasting impression on Texas A&M pass rusher Cashius Howell, one of the many edge rushers projected to go no later than the second round of this week’s NFL Draft.
Howell was interviewed by Kay Adams on the Up & Adams Show, detailing his in-person visit with the Seahawks in glowing fashion.
“It was great,” Howell said. “You know, the facilities, everything was so beautiful up there in Seattle. The coaching staff did a great job welcoming me with with open arms and really just kind of giving me the lay of the land, telling me what they expect me to do within the defense if they were to draft me, and just watched a little film, kind of did a little install, just a great insight for what to expect if they were to draft me.
“It was a great visit. Got to meet a lot of great staff members, great players, all of that. So, like I said, I definitely feel like it would be a great fit to go play for the Seahawks.”
Howell was one of several edge rushers brought in by the Seahawks on a 30 visit. He began his college career at Bowling Green before transferring to Texas A&M in 2024. After an 11.5-sack senior season, Howell earned SEC Defensive Player of the Year honors in addition to Unanimous All-American.

“I was blown away,” Howell continued. “Based on some of the things that the coaches were saying and kind of the culture that they have already established in the locker room and just throughout the facilities, it makes sense as to why they they win Super Bowls and that they’re always consistently having great season after great season.
“Like I said, I was just blown away by the whole visit and just thinking about, you know, all the scenarios that would happen and honestly wishing I could be a Seattle Seahawk. So, that that would definitely be a blessing.”
Howell doesn’t completely fit the typical profile of a Seahawks pass rusher. He measured at the NFL Scouting Combine at 6’2, 253 pounds, which isn’t too far off from Derick Hall, but he overwhelmingly wins with speed and inside moves instead of power.
Howell also has short arms at 30 1/4”, which has been a similar talking point for Miami’s Rueben Bain Jr. Where he excels is having a quick first step and burst off the edge, recording a 1.58-second 10-yard split, tops among all edges who participated in combine drills this year. With Seattle’s outside linebacker situation not exactly secure in the long-term, Howell shouldn’t be discounted as a possible Seahawks pick at No. 32 or early in the second round should Seattle trade down.
