Football Fest gave Seahawk fans their first glimpse of the 2025 squad as they geared up for the upcoming season. Under Mike McDonald's new coaching methods, practices have shifted from traditional scrimmages to a more analytical approach, emphasizing situational drills instead of statistics. The chemistry between Sam Darnold and Jackson Smith-Njigba is becoming apparent, with JSN stepping up as the leading receiver in the absence of DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett. Alongside him, Dariq Young and Tory Horton have also made significant strides, with Young showcasing his touchdown-scoring prowess.

Defensively, Tyrese Knight and Drake Thomas displayed promise, especially in their run defense. Despite not being a typical game, standout performances from players like Milro and Broadden highlighted the team's potential. This practice session, while not an official game, has left fans excited about the upcoming season.
