The Draft Network&#8217;s Ryan Fowler sees Ivey competing for a final roster spot in Seattle this offseason.<\/p>\n<p>Ivey recorded 42 tackles (11 for loss) and seven sacks for the Rebels this past season en route to All-SEC honors. Ivey was extremely versatile, playing multiple positions across the defensive line. He filled spots at 4i, 6i, and five-technique. Mike Macdonald will appreciate that flexibility.<\/p>\n<p>Ivey likely went undrafted because he tested poorly throughout the pre-draft process. The Suwanee, Georgia native ran a 5.15 40-yard dash, and leaped a 30.5 inch vertical and 9-foot-5 broad jump. Those were historically poor results, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MathBomb\/status\/1906733223175933962\" rel=\"nofollow\">Relative Athletic Score<\/a> (RAS).<\/p>\n<p>Testing numbers don&#8217;t determine next-level success. It&#8217;s understandable why teams are concerned with Ivey&#8217;s athletic profile, leading to him going undrafted. But the tape reveals a competitive, versatile, productive player. Ivey will possess an opportunity to impress at Seahawks training camp while making a valiant push to make the roster in a deep defensive line room.<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lots of talent that didn\u2019t hear their name called on draft weekend.
