Wesley Mallard, the star linebacker in the fiesta bowl in 2001 as a Senior has signed a free agent contract with the Seattle Seahawks today.
Mallard, a native of Hinesville, Georgia, Mallard attended the University of Oregon before being drafted by the New York Giants in the 6th round of the 2002 NFL Draft. Mallard has played in 59 career games, mostly on special teams.
The Hawks have a great starting group at linebacker led by ex USC Trojan Lofa Tatupu in the middle at Middle Linebacker. Julian Peterson and Leroy Hill man the outside spots.
Mallard's chances to earn a starting spot at linebacker are limited but the chance for him to continue his dominate play on special teams that he did in his first five years in the NFL.
