Fansided's 12th Man Rising's Ernesto Cova argued the Seattle Seahawks might have a breakout undrafted free agent in edge rusher Marvin Jones Jr.
The Seattle Seahawks added Leonard Floyd in free agency following the 2026 NFL Draft. That acquisition should solidify the team’s edge rushing depth. But in a perfect world, an unknown rookie, such as Marvin Jones Jr., will emerge as a contributor to stabilize the position in the long run for Seattle.
Fansided’s 12th Man Rising’s Ernesto Cova argued Jones could be that player for the Seahawks.
On Monday, Cova referred to Jones as a potential “breakout player nobody expected.”
“The Seahawks value defensive versatility, and Jones can make an impact in both a two-point and three-point stance,” wrote Cova. “He’s still raw and needs to do a better job with his hands, but that makes him a blank canvas for Mike Macdonald and Aden Durde to mold into the type of do-it-all pass rusher they’d want for their heavy rotation of headhunters…
“Jones’ physical tools are enticing. If he shows a strong work ethic and coachability during rookie minicamp, he might as well be worth rolling the dice on. And with proven veterans like Lawrence and Fowler to mentor and coach him up, he might be one of the ‘Dark Side’ defense’s new gems in a year or two.”
At Oklahoma last season, Jones posted 21 combined tackles, including five for loss. He also had two sacks and one pass defense in 13 games.
