The Seattle Seahawks are banking on the potential of Jalen Sundell, their sophomore offensive lineman, who they signed as an undrafted free agent in 2024. General manager John Schneider expressed their confidence in Sundell's ability to play multiple positions and contribute significantly to improving the offensive front, which has been a team focus this offseason. Despite a lackluster rookie season, where he played only 57 snaps, the expectation is that Sundell will compete for a starting position, particularly as the Seahawks look to solidify their offensive line.

With Schneider acknowledging that upgrades through free agency have been challenging, the team is counting on in-house talent development. Sundell is seen as part of a promising duo, alongside Olu Oluwatimi, for the upcoming season. Schneider noted the staff's favorable view of Sundell, describing him as smart, tough, and reliable, hinting at a push for substantial improvement in 2025.
