According to NextGen Stats and the NFL Draft<\/a> IQ, the Seahawks came away with the most athletically gifted class<\/a> by an entire point. <\/p>\n In fact, they were a top-five finisher in all three categories evaluated. <\/p>\n The second-most athletic draft class being the Las Vegas Raiders<\/a> is worth noting. Where does Pete Carroll\u2019s influence play in all of this? <\/p>\n At multiple positions, the Seahawks had the most athletic player available, taken without necessarily overreaching at each draft slot. <\/p>\n The @Seahawks<\/a> targeted elite athletes throughout the draft, selecting a league-high four players with an NGS athleticism score of 85 or higher.<\/p>\n Seattle\u2019s first four picks had an average athleticism score of 91, the highest by any team in the draft since 2003. pic.twitter.com\/WV5ANXEbDw<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Next Gen Stats (@NextGenStats) April 26, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n The rookies are headlined by: <\/p>\n Nick Emmanwori, the most athletic safety ever. But don\u2019t sleep on Elijah Arroyo, who ran a faster in-game speed<\/a> last season than Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>\u2019 speed demon Xavier Worthy. Tory Holton also has the 66th best RAS score over the past 20 years. <\/p>\n An impressive showing for the Seattle front office, who just compiled a couple of fierce defenders with an entire overhaul on offense. Filled to the brim with twitchy, speedy, explosive dudes. <\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Screenshot_2025_04_26_at_7.30.26_PM.png\"\/)
