A four-year Kansas starting tackle being retooled into interior line depth for Seattle.
Bryce Cabeldue built a reputation at Kansas as a durable, versatile offensive tackle who started 45 games over four seasons. Seattle drafted him in the sixth round with an eye toward moving him inside to guard, betting his short-area quickness translates to the interior at the pro level.
Path to the league
Cabeldue was a four-year starter at Kansas, playing both right and left tackle for the Jayhawks and starting 45 games over that span. He earned All-Big 12 honorable mention honors as a senior after starting 12 games at right tackle. The Seahawks selected him in the sixth round, 192nd overall, in the 2025 NFL Draft.
Career highlights
At 6-foot-4 and 308 pounds, Cabeldue's calling card at Kansas was availability and versatility, having lined up at multiple spots along the offensive line without missing significant time. That durability, paired with elite short-area quickness for his size, is what led Seattle to project him as a guard rather than keep him at tackle.
2025 season recap
Cabeldue made the Seahawks' 53-man roster as a rookie and appeared in eight games in a reserve offensive line role during Seattle's Super Bowl LX championship season, giving the team depth behind its starting front.
