A Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year at Michigan, Mike Morris is still fighting to establish himself as a rotational piece in Seattle.
Mike Morris broke out late at Michigan, turning a single dominant starting season into a fifth-round selection by Seattle in 2023. His NFL production has been modest so far, but he remains part of the Seahawks' defensive line depth and a Super Bowl champion.
Path to the league
Morris saw little playing time in his first two years at Michigan before becoming a full-time starter in 2022, when he earned second-team All-American, first-team All-Big Ten, and Big Ten Defensive Lineman of the Year honors. The Seahawks drafted him in the fifth round, 151st overall, in the 2023 NFL Draft.
Career highlights
Morris's breakout 2022 season at Michigan came after appearing in just one game across his first two years on campus, a testament to his development as a pass rusher and run defender. Through his first three NFL seasons, he has totaled 26 tackles and a pass deflection in a depth role for Seattle.
2025 season recap
Morris continued in a rotational role on Seattle's defensive line in 2025 as the team pushed for continued development from him, and he earned a Super Bowl LX ring when the Seahawks beat New England 29-13.
