0:00For the NFL, it's March 4th, and here's what's going on. Texas A&M Edge R Usher, Cassius Howell, is emerging as a top name for the Seattle Seahawks in the 2026 NFL Draft. After the scouting combined, he's generating buzz as a potential fit at the 32nd overall pick. Multiple outlets have linked him to the team, seeing him as a high upside pass rusher who could drop due to some physical concerns.

Then today, the Seahawks official site featured an article spotlighting him as one of the standouts from Indianapolis. Analysts point out his college production as a sack leader on a playoff contender, making him worth the gamble if he slides. Fans and scouts are buzzing about Howell's accolades, including the 2025 SEC defensive player of the year award and unanimous first team. All American honors.
