Overview
- Nick Emmanwori, the Seahawks' 2025 second-round pick, will wear jersey No. 3, last donned by Russell Wilson during his decade-long tenure in Seattle.
- This marks the first time the number has been worn since Wilson's trade to the Denver Broncos in 2022.
- Emmanwori chose No. 3 to pay respect to Wilson, one of his favorite players growing up, and to create his own legacy on defense.
- The rookie safety initially sought No. 7, his college number, but pivoted to No. 3 after it was unavailable due to roster assignments.
- Russell Wilson, who wore No. 3 from 2012–2021, led the Seahawks to a Super Bowl victory and earned nine Pro Bowl selections during his time with the team.
