   DIFFERENT: Seahawks Rookie Class Brings NEW Energy. Bud Clark & Julian Neal Stand Out

   Something feels different about this Seattle Seahawks rookie class… but is it actually real? In this episode of The Northwest Blitz, we break down the biggest storyline coming out of Seahawks rookie minicamp: the buzz around Bud Clark and Julian Neal. These two defensive backs have quickly become the center of attention thanks to their energy, confidence, and early chemistry—but does that translate to real NFL production, or is this just offseason hype? We dive deep into the REAL OR HYPE debate surrounding both players, analyzing their fit in Mike Macdonald’s defense, their paths to playing time, and whether their early momentum is sustainable once the pads come on. From there, we expand the conversation to the rest of the rookie class, including: Jadarian Price — Why the Seahawks rookie running back might quietly be the most NFL-ready player in this class. His vision, decision-making, and fit in an outside zone scheme could make him an early contributor in Seattle’s offense. Beau Stephens — The under-the-radar offensive lineman who could earn trust quickly and compete for real snaps sooner than expected. The overall Seahawks draft class strategy — Is this group part of a larger identity shift focused on culture, communication, and long-term development? We also close with a rapid-fire breakdown of which rookies will matter most in 2026, including: Who will make the biggest impact by Week 8 Who has the highest ceiling vs safest floor Which player we might be completely wrong about If you’re a Seahawks fan looking for real insight—not surface-level takes—this episode gives you a complete breakdown of Seattle’s rookie class and what it means for the future of the team.
