Ceaser is one of the more intriguing undrafted free agents on the Seahawks roster.
The Seattle Seahawks may have skipped out on drafting an edge rusher, but they did add one of the more intriguing prospects as an undrafted free agent. Houston’s Nelson Ceaser surprisingly didn’t get his name called on Day 3, which is where he was projected to go. The Athletic’s Dane Brugler gave Ceaser a fifth-round grade in his draft guide: Ceaser was All-Big 12 First-Team in his senior season, recording a conference-leading 9.5 sacks and 13.5 tackles for loss.
That problem has continued into the NFL, where Pete Carroll briefly benched him for waiver wire pickup Darryl Johnson Jr, whose immediate injury resulted in Taylor’s reinsertion. You can live with poor run defense if you’re an exceptional pass rusher, but even with Taylor’s nice looking 21.5 sacks through three seasons, his pressure rate has never been above 8.8% in three seasons. He’s consistently been a below-average edge rusher and compounds his struggles by being a bottom-tier run defender.
