You can sort the the top combine performances since 2000 in each drill by position. Seward has one of the best 40 times, bench press total, and shuttle times of all ILB's at the combine from 2000-2008.

I am not saying combine results= NFL success, but it is interesting to see how he stacked up at the combine compared to ILB's who will be selected in this draft.

Comparing Jerod Mayo's athletic Combine results to Adam Seward's numbers, puts Seward slightly better in the measureables in everything except 40 time. Mayo was a 4.54 and Seward was a 4.60 Those are spectacular numbers for ILBs. He beats Mayo in three cone and shuttle numbers. Or for pass rushing OLBs too. The obvious question was, "Why he wasn't drafted higher? "

Then you find out he had a fractured foot as a Senior in college; and that needed surgery, so his NFL rookie year would be curtailed. That surely ruled him off many teams draft lists, and pushed him down, too.

Morgan and Beason who he played behind, are or were near probowl caliber MLBs.

Looking closely, I can see why they are going after a college 3-4 ILB, from a school where they have drafted before, and has a record of producing a few probowl LBs. He would beat out Alexander as an ILB reserve, if he can barely walk, IMHO .

I still await this signing. They had interest before, have obviously been following him, and scouting him. He was quickly brought in to talk; they interviewed him and now can turn their attention to the other usual low ball FAs.

Will they come back for him? Now he knows there is interest. I'd guess yes. Having tendered him low, I suspect to try and sneak him by, the Panthers may have second thought on a match, though.

I think I would rather have Seward than Peppers... or any other LB in history.

Re: ILB Adam Seward [merged]

Can anyone summarize this thread for me? Are we being sarcastic, or have we targeted this guy?

Just heard on OLN or SPICE one of those media outlets. Three way deal for Vrabel, Vrabel to KC, Pollard to Carolina, Adam Seward to NE, Straight up!!!!!

Ray Lewis is gone, time to sign Seward!

Are you trying to single handedly drive the price up, maybe his agent has'nt heard yet. We need to go cloak and dagger to get this guy. He's not gonna tackle himself you know.

Not worth a 5th round pick.

@ looking back and reading the responses my initial reply set off.

Why haven't we signed Adam Seward yet? He strides around in tights and a cape..... Snap to it FO..... sheeesh

A 650+ posts thread on this guy is gold bullion in a swiss bank!

I always think the Pats wanted Seward and missed getting him, so they settled for his UNLV teammate Ryan Claridge instead.

How'd that work out for 'em? :ugh:

 

[MetalBleachers]

I'm hesitant to name Seward as a starter (although we all know he's redefined the role of an NFL LB as we know it ) just because I've never seen him play.

But, shoot, bring him in and take a look.

Mark my words....when their careers are all said and done....Seward will have had a better career than Larry Taylor........

d%#*!@t! There's not enough room in the sig for two such magnificent guarantees. Maybe Stcjones will recant his and we can make a switch?

Next in line
Remember last year how the Patriots were chasing after Carolina Panthers unrestricted free agent linebacker Adam Seward? Well, New England hasn't shown much interest this time around in Seward, who is an unrestricted free agent. But the rival Colts have. According to a league source, Indianapolis is set to have Seward, who has started two games in four NFL seasons, in for a visit tomorrow.

Im more than willing to take a hometown discount to play for the Patriots.

Well done.

Unfortunately, the Colts pay wages similar to those of dishwashers in Mexican border towns for their non pass rushers on D, so there's no discount to be had.

The thought is appreciated, though.

Seward is well worth a possible 5th round pick.

It will end one day soon, after Adam Seward has joined the Patriots, led them to a Super Bowl victory, cured cancer, ended world hunger and found another planet for us all to colonize.
