Press Conferences & Interviews

Trevon Diggs: “This Feels Like Home” · Seahawks Press Pass Trevon Diggs met with the media, expressing a strong comfort level in Seattle after signing just yesterday and choosing the Seahawks over other teams like Detroit. Diggs, who has suffered a tough run of knee injuries, was visibly relieved and candid as he confirmed he is finally 100% healthy after his first rehab-free offseason training program. He even laughed off and confirmed the rumor that his last concussion occurred when a television he was mounting fell on his head, though he cleared protocol in a week. Already deep in his playbook alongside former college teammates Josh Jobe and “Daw”, Diggs expects to play “wherever” needed and is targeting a potential debut in next Friday’s final preseason game.

“I’m just thankful for this opportunity.” - Trevon Diggs · Seahawks Press Pass In a secondary clip, Trevon Diggs displayed a humble, deeply grateful tone, repeatedly thanking God for the opportunity to play football healthy again after a long and challenging journey. Knowing that cornerback is a position of need for the defending Super Bowl champions, Diggs is treating this chance as a true blessing and is eager to earn his spot. He has a clear fire to prove he is still one of the best in the league while being a great teammate. This short clip offers a raw look at Diggs’ mindset as he embraces a fresh start in Seattle.

Brady Russell: “The Biggest Thing I Pride Myself On Is Multiplicity” · Seahawks Press Pass Tight end and fullback Brady Russell was absolutely glowing as he shared the story of his wild Saturday, where he played the first half of a preseason game on high alert before leaving at halftime to head home and take his wife to the hospital for the birth of his daughter, Hadley. Russell was incredibly candid, revealing he hasn’t even watched his halftime exit on the latest Hard Knocks yet because he’s too busy with fatherhood. On the field, Robbie’s injury has propelled Russell to the number-one fullback spot, a role he feels significantly more comfortable in this year thanks to his pre-snap processing hitting a smoother rhythm. He was highly vocal about his pride in “multiplicity,” declaring his desire to master both fullback and tight end responsibilities to prove he is one of the best 11 players on the field under coordinator Curry.

  • Cornerback Trevon Diggs is fully recovered from past knee injuries and a concussion, looking to make his Seahawks debut as early as next Friday’s final preseason game.

Reading Between the Lines

  • The Dallas-to-Seattle pipeline is alive and well, with Trevon Diggs joining former Cowboys teammates Dante Fowler, Adam Dery, and DeMarcus Lawrence—who helped lead Seattle to a Super Bowl victory last season.
  • Diggs’ rapid integration is being fast-tracked by his college connections to Josh Jobe and Carl, allowing him to quickly digest a defensive playbook that shares strong similarities to his college system.
  • Brady Russell’s versatility is a massive asset for OC Curry’s multi-personnel offense, as Russell is actively competing to prove that Seattle’s base and heavy personnel packages (like 12, 13, or 14 personnel) can move the ball more effectively than the standard 11 personnel.
