Former UGA DB signed to Seattle Seahawks practice squad

Former Georgia receiver Jayson Stanley has been signed to the Seattle Seahawks practice squad for the 2020 NFL football season.

Stanley went undrafted in the 2019 NFL Draft, but was signed to the Atlanta Falcons practice squad last season and now will continue his NFL career as a defensive back for Seattle.

From Fairburn, Georgia, Stanley was a four star recruit in Georgia’s 2015 recruiting class. He appeared in 25 games during his time in Athens, earning a starting receiver spot in his final year of 2018.

Stanley impressed Seattle enough to garner their attention after the Falcons elected not to resign him this season.

Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is one of the best defensive coaches in the NFL and has coached some of the most dominant secondaries in recent memory – including the infamous ‘legion of boom’ of the 2010s.

That said, Stanley landing with Carroll in Seattle should boost his experience as a young defender and maybe lead to a future roster spot next season.
