The Seahawks have agreed to sign Ricky Person, a 24-year-old running back who recently completed the spring season with the UFL’s Birmingham Stallions. During his time with the Stallions, Person recorded 93 rushes for 297 yards and six touchdowns in nine games, as well as 13 receptions for 150 yards. Notably, Person had 14 touches in the UFL Championship Game, where he gained 106 yards in the Stallions’ 25-0 victory over the San Antonio Brahmas.
Person initially entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent, signing with the Ravens before being waived after two months with the team. Despite this setback, Person has continued to hone his skills and has yet to play a regular-season NFL game. With his new opportunity with the Seahawks, Person will finally have a chance to prove himself at the professional level and showcase his abilities on the field.
