The Seattle Seahawks guaranteed Sunny Anderson $100,000 as an undrafted free agent. Can he make the team in a talented edge room?
will open training camp at the VMAC in a little over two months, officially ushering in the first season under new coach Mike Macdonald.
In preparation for the new incoming season, we'll be detailing every member of the Seahawks 90-man roster over the next several weeks, diving into scheme fits, exploring best and worst case scenarios, and predicting what to expect from each player entering the 2024 campaign. Coming out of FCS program Grambling State, can Sundiata Anderson capitalize on his $100,000 guaranteed money and make the 53-man roster?A multi-sport athlete in high school while also being a first-team All-County selection, Anderson had multiple offers coming out, including one Power 5 scholarship offer from Georgia Tech before choosing Grambling State. Anderson spent six years at Grambling State, playing in 33 total games with 21 of those coming in his final two seasons.
Grambling State defensive end Sundiata Anderson attempts to bring down a Bethune Cookman ball carrier. /After spending the majority of his time at Grambling State standing up with 375 of his 513 snaps as a defensive end in 2023, Anderson should stay in the same role at the next level, especially with his size at 6-3, 239 pounds. That will play well with how Mike Macdonald likes to utilize his pass rushers in a hybrid 3-4 scheme.
Keeping that in mind, Anderson is a candidate for Seattle's practice squad and potentially the 53-man roster if he balls out during training camp and the preseason. With the $100,000 in guaranteed money that the Seahawks gave him, it's a signal that they believe in him as a player, which could lead to more opportunities over the next few months to show what he can offer to Macdonald's unit as a potential developmental hedge.
