This is a developing story.
The Seahawks selected Robbie Ouzts with pick No. 175, adding a fullback who can contribute to Klint Kubiak's offense.
The 6-foot-3, 275-pound Ouzts played in all 13 games for Alabama in his final season.
Ouzts is built like an ironworker who has a squat rack in the garage. He's compact and muscular but surprisingly athletic in routes and on move blocks. He can align as a wing and fits up blocks with good technique and balance, but he gets discarded by longer opponents. As a lead blocker he sees the run lane like a running back and adjusts well to strike moving targets. He can run routes if needed and should play on kick return, punt cover and field goal teams. A move to fullback will give him a chance to compete for a roster spot.
The Seahawks drafted Alabama fullback Robbie Ouzts with the 175th overall pick in the 5th round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Check out the best photos of the Ouzts throughout the years.
