Westover

Westover was cut with an injury settlement and is free to sign with another team. Seattle Times beat reporter Bob Condotta notes, “He can re-sign with the Seahawks only once the number of weeks of the injury settlement have passed.” T Garret Greenfield was also waived by the Seahawks on Friday.

Westover (6’3/243) enters the draft having spent five seasons with the Washington Huskies. He combined for ten receptions between his first three seasons but became a bigger part of the offense in his last two. Westover finished last season with 46 receptions for 433 yards and four touchdowns with the Pac-12 champions. Though he could not perform at the combine with a thumb injury, Westover was able to showcase his talent at Washington’s Pro Day. He is known for his hands, operating as a productive pass-catcher and safety blanket for Michael Penix in college. NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein says, “Westover figures to be targeted as an F tight end with fullback potential.” While he is small for blocking situations, Westover’s pass-catching can land him in a fullback role at the next level.
