Seattle Seahawks fans know well how undrafted free agents (UDFAs) can help the team win games. In the last 15 years, Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse, and Jake Bobo, among a few others, have helped the organization win Super Bowls. Maybe Michael Briscoe can do that, too.
Seattle signed Briscoe after he went undrafted in 2026 out of Cal Poly, not exactly known to be a factory of elite NFL players. The wideout doesn't need to be elite; however, he simply needs to be the kind of glue guy that Bobo is.
He needs to play special teams at a high level and maybe catch the random target or three. He's big enough (6'2" and 205 pounds) and fast enough to stretch the field, but he has a lot to learn before getting real snaps. No offense to the coaches at Cal Poly, but Briscoe will have to improve his technique while playing against much higher competition, even in practice.
Michael Briscoe could give the Seattle Seahawks a new Jake Bobo
In his last season at Cal Poly, Briscoe started brilliantly. He had at least 110 yards receiving in three of his first four games. That included a 148-yard and four-touchdown contest against Western Oregon. At the level he played in college, he definitely was capable of being elite.
His learning curve will be sharp, of course, but that doesn't mean he can't be something akin to Bobo's production. Bobo is taller, but not nearly as fast. What Briscoe can learn from the three-year Seahawk is how to run routes precisely.
Jake Bobo might not get a lot of targets, but he makes the most of what he does get, and with a different team, he could be even more productive. He knows how to use his size to position himself advantageously against defensive backs, proven by his touchdown catch against the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Championship game.
Michael Briscoe has the size to do the same, but he also has the girth to be a force on special teams, in essence taking the place of Dareke Young, who left this offseason to play for the Las Vegas Raiders. In that role is where Briscoe can carve out his niche.
If nothing else, the wide receiver has likely landed in the best possible spot for him. The Seattle Seahawks are obviously not afraid to take a chance on a wideout that wasn't drafted. He can be helpful, potentially doing the dirty work that helps the team win another Super Bowl.
