A family connection is brewing within Seattle's professional sports teams. In a strange coincidence, the Seattle Storm drafted Kansas State's Serena Sundell during Monday's WNBA Draft. Jalen Sundell, who went undrafted out of North Dakota State in 2024, is already on the Seattle Seahawks' roster. Jalen, 25, will be competing for a starting center role this upcoming season alongside Olu Oluwatimi. He played in 12 games last season — primarily on special teams — and logged 57 offensive snaps.

The Seattle Seahawks reportedly met with two 2025 quarterback prospects on Tuesday, continuing to do their homework on the incoming draft class. It might not be a need with four quarterbacks already on the roster, but the franchise doesn't want to leave any stones unturned. Former Louisville signal-caller Tyler Shough joined Alabama signal-caller Jalen Milroe in Seattle on Tuesday for a pre-draft visit, per Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer.

As the lead-up to the 2025 NFL Draft has progressed, a common theme has emerged: This isn't the draft most quarterback-needy teams are getting excited about. Sure, there's some hype around Miami's Cam Ward and Colorado's Shedeur Sanders, but opinions have varied on every passer after that. But there are some other prospects who teams are clearly split on, like Ole Miss passer Jaxson Dart, Louisville's Tyler Shough and Alabama's Jalen Milroe, among others.

The Seattle Storm have four picks in the 2025 WNBA Draft, which commences at 4:30 p.m. PT on Monday in New York. Barring a trade, the franchise will have its highest first-round selection (second overall) since 2016 when Seattle took Breanna Stewart first overall out of UConn. Since then, the Storm have had just two top 10 picks — selecting Jordin Canada at No. 5 in 2018 and Jordan Horston at No. 9 in 2023.
