Nick Kallerup

Tight End · Minnesota

An undrafted blocking tight end out of Minnesota who made Seattle's roster and rode it to a championship ring.

Nick Kallerup went unselected in the 2025 NFL Draft but signed with Seattle as a priority free agent and earned a spot on the 53-man roster as a blocking specialist at tight end. The Wayzata, Minnesota native turned a quiet college receiving profile into a real NFL opportunity through reliability in the run game.

★ Made Seahawks 53-man roster as undrafted rookie

★ Played in 39 straight games at Minnesota (2022-24)

★ Super Bowl LX champion

Path to the league

Kallerup played college football at Minnesota from 2019 through 2024, appearing in all 39 possible games from 2022 to 2024 as a steady blocking presence in the Golden Gophers' offense. He went undrafted in 2025 and signed with the Seahawks as a priority free agent on May 2, then made the team's initial 53-man roster.

Career highlights

Kallerup was never a featured pass catcher at Minnesota, totaling just 14 catches for 151 yards and one touchdown from 2022 to 2024, but his durability and blocking consistency across three full seasons made him a trusted option for the Gophers' run-heavy attack.

2025 season recap

Kallerup played in 10 regular season games as a rookie, working almost exclusively as a blocking tight end and finishing without a reception. He added two postseason appearances during Seattle's Super Bowl LX run, though he was inactive for the Super Bowl itself, capping a first season that ended in a championship.
