Gee Scott Jr. is back in an NFL building, this time with the Seattle Seahawks, after earning a spot at the team’s 2026 rookie minicamp.
Seattle’s official minicamp roster listed Scott as a wide receiver wearing No. 89, and Seahawks photo coverage from both practice days showed him on the field in Renton as he chased another chance to stay in the league.
That makes this stop different in a few ways. Scott is not arriving as a draft pick or a new undrafted signee fresh out of college.
He is arriving after already spending time with the Patriots and Commanders, trying to turn another short window into something longer.
Field Gulls identified him as one of Seattle’s tryout players and noted that he had previously been on the practice squads of both New England and Washington.
Scott’s NFL path started with the Patriots after the 2025 draft. New England officially signed him as a rookie free agent out of Ohio State on May 9, 2025, later brought him back to the practice squad in September, and then moved on in October.
The Patriots’ own transaction history also noted that Scott had spent five seasons at Ohio State and had converted to tight end after beginning his college career as a wide receiver.
Washington became the next stop. By December 2025, Scott had landed on the Commanders’ practice squad, which kept him in the league and gave him another team environment to work through before this latest chance with Seattle.
Seattle gives Scott another shot close to home
There is a local layer to this one too. Scott is a Seattle native, and that gives the Seahawks minicamp invite a little more weight than a normal tryout.
He now gets this chance with the NFL team from his hometown after a college run at Ohio State that was longer and steadier than his raw numbers alone might suggest.
Ohio State’s official bio says he played in 52 games, made 16 starts, earned four Varsity O letters, and graduated in just over three years with a degree in human development and family services.
His role in college also helps explain why he is still getting looks. Scott was one of those players who had to reshape his game on the fly.
He arrived at Ohio State as a wide receiver, moved to tight end, and became an experienced piece of the Buckeyes’ offense over time.
The Seahawks listing him as a wide receiver for rookie minicamp adds another wrinkle, because it suggests teams still see some flexibility in how he might be used or evaluated.
That kind of flexibility matters for players in his position. A minicamp tryout is rarely about one perfect rep or one big catch. It is about showing enough value over a couple of days to stay in the conversation after the weekend ends.
Scott has already had to do that with two other NFL teams. Seattle became the latest place where he could try again.
The bigger challenge, of course, is that the margin is thin. Practice-squad time with the Patriots and Commanders shows that teams have seen something worth keeping around, but it also shows how quickly those chances can disappear.
The Seahawks minicamp did not guarantee anything more than a look. What it did give Scott was another real opening, another set of coaches watching, and another chance to turn a short stay into a roster conversation.
For now, that is where the story sits. Gee Scott Jr. has already gone from Ohio State to New England, then to Washington, and now to a Seattle rookie minicamp that puts him back on a hometown field with another NFL shot in front of him.
Whether it becomes more than that will depend on what comes after minicamp, but the opportunity itself is real, and it is the latest stop in a pro path that has not closed yet.
