Igwebuike has been around the NFL plenty. In his short career, he has been in the organizations of Tampa Bay, San Francisco, Philadelphia, the New York Jets, Detroit, Seattle, and the XFL SeaDragons.
In 2022, he spent most of the season on the Seahawks’ practice team, but was called up later in the season when injuries started to take a toll on Seattle’s running back stable. Igwebuike made his mark in Week 14 during a 30-24 home loss to the Panthers, where he had 104 return yards, including one for 50 yards which set up a Seahawks touchdown drive.
Igwebuike gave Seattle’s lackluster return game a much-needed jolt of life, and was a highlight in the last portion of the season. Here’s hoping to his success with the Falcons.
