The Seattle Seahawks have signed Canadian defensive back Jonathan Sutherland to the practice roster. The five-foot-eleven, 202-pound defender signed with the team after going unselected in the 2023 NFL Draft. Sutherland played 58 collegiate games at Penn State where he recorded 137 tackles, eight tackles for loss, 1.5 sacks, one interception, one forced fumble, and two blocked kicks. The Ottawa native ran a 4.58-second forty-yard dash at his pro day and leaped a 37.5-inch vertical jump and a ten-foot, three-inch broad jump. Sutherland was selected with the fifth overall pick in the 2023 CFL Draft by the Montreal Alouettes, who own his exclusive rights north of the border.
