Canadian Justin Senior selected by Seahawks in sixth round of NFL draft
Even on the day he was drafted by the Seattle Seahawks, offensive tackle Justin Senior was putting in work to get better and better. With the gym closed at Mississippi State, where he spent his college career, Senior did cardio drills on a speed and agility ladder on his own.
“I want to become a more complete player, I feel like I owe that to the team that took a chance on me,” said Senior, who was drafted 210th overall by the Seahawks in the sixth round of the NFL draft on Saturday. “I owe that to all the people that helped me get here, to just keep working and be a better and better player.
“I don’t know when I’ll stop working. I’ll just keep working and working until the end. There’s always something you can be better at.”
The six-foot-five, 331-pound Montreal native played at Mississippi State where he was a three-year starter. The 22-year-old captured the 2016 Kent Hull Trophy as the state’s top offensive lineman. He’s also the top prospect for the CFL draft on May 7.
