The Seattle Seahawks have made significant roster changes ahead of their season finale against the Los Angeles Rams, notably signing three players from their practice squad. A surprising decision was the promotion of John Rhys Plumlee, previously a quarterback, who has now been transitioned to a receiver. Coach Mike Macdonald expressed enthusiasm about Plumlee's progress since joining the practice squad in November, highlighting his dual-threat capabilities from his college days.

Plumlee, a standout at Ole Miss and UCF, has a notable collegiate career, amassing 5,838 passing yards and 38 touchdowns, along with impressive rushing stats. Despite not being invited to the 2024 NFL combine, he caught the attention of scouts with his performance at the Big 12 Pro Day. After a stint with the Steelers and the Jaguars, he found a home in Seattle, where he is now viewed as a potential offensive contributor.
