Nealy getting shot with Seahawks

Shortly after the conclusion of the NFL draft Saturday, former Georgia Tech linebacker Quayshawn Nealy agreed to terms with the Seattle Seahawks as an undrafted rookie free agent. Nealy, a four-year starter and an All-ACC pick last season, will be a part of a 12-player group of undrafted players that includes one other linebacker.

Going into the draft, Nealy had been considered either a late-round pick or a priority free agent. Nealy was seen as productive but undersized.

The Seahawks did not draft any linebackers, however. In Seattle, Nealy is joining a team that will give undrafted players a shot. Of its nine undrafted rookies signed after the 2014 draft, two made the team, and they both played 14 or more games.
