Huge, smart, Big 10. Good enough for me in the seventh. Definitely some tools to develop on the practice squad, maybe we get lucky and he can contribute sooner.
Anyone that wants s to actually know more about this kid, skip the highlight reel and go watch the full games against Michigan and Oregon. (Focus on #91)
Very solid pick up, he’s got a very good base and with some pro level coaching has a ton of potential.
I’m hoping he at least makes the PS.

A mention about Deven Eastern's new line coach Justin Hinds.
“If you have violence with technique, you have a chance,” Hinds said. “Effort is nonnegotiable. And you play together and play off each other. Those four things lead to success. All the guys in our room exemplify that. If you don’t, you stand out.”
Hinds was hired to lead his own position group in 2024 — on a recommendation from Leslie Frazier, a mentor through a minority coaching fellowship — and that defensive line became the backbone of The Dark Side defense that Sunday night led the Seahawks to victory in Super Bowl 2026.

Justin Hinds wanted Deven Eastern on draft day. This upcoming relationship could turn into his best development project yet.

Forgot to mention: Justin Hinds now has 5 nose tackles to work with on the current roster not named Byron Murphy II. There has got to be an interesting defense line metamorphosis on the horizon. It's gonna be fun to watch it all unfold in 2026.
