Horton has length and speed to burn, and that's exactly what he did in three seasons (the final of which was cut short) at Colorado State. In limited 2024 action, Horton looked uncoverable -- drawing a target on an absurd 41% of his routes while averaging 3.84 yards per route run. Across three seasons as a Ram, Horton averaged an elite 3.09 yards per route. Presumably, medical concerns dropped Horton to Round 5 of the NFL Draft. The Seahawks desperately needed perimeter speed, and a healthy Horton could provide just that. If he can get back to form and then beat out Marquez Valdes-Scantling, Horton could make noise in Year 1. Sam Darnold's deep ball was surprisingly top-notch in 2024. Keep an eye on Horton during the preseason and early into his rookie regular season campaign. He is not worth drafting outside of the deepest leagues.

Seahawks' Tory Horton: Doesn't practice Tuesday
Rotowire
Horton (ankle) did not participate in Tuesday's training camp practice, Curtis Crabtree of Fox 13 Seattle reports.
Horton is working through an ankle injury that he picked up during the Seahawks' preseason win over Kansas City this past Friday. The injury doesn't appear to be serious, as head coach Mike Macdonald said after the game that Horton could have returned to Friday's contest if needed. The rookie wideout's practice participation over the coming days will should determine his availability for the Seahawks' preseason finale against the Packers on Saturday.

Seahawks' Tory Horton: Tweaks ankle vs. Kansas City
Rotowire
Horton injured his ankle during the second quarter of Friday's 33-16 preseason win over the Chiefs and did not return, Michael-Shawn Duggar of The Athletic reports.
Horton caught one pass on two targets for 12 yards, and it was during his catch at the 3:33 mark in the second quarter when he appeared to injure his ankle after stumbling awkwardly out of bounds. The rookie fifth-rounder was held out for the rest of the game, though head coach Mike Macdonald relayed that Horton could have re-entered the contest if it were needed. Horton's ankle injury doesn't appear to be serious, and as long as he participates in practice in the coming week, he should be available to play in the Seahawks' preseason finale against the Packers on Saturday, Aug. 23.

Seahawks' Tory Horton: Adds to camp hype with preseason TD
Rotowire
Horton caught three of seven targets for 31 yards and a touchdown in Thursday's 23-23 preseason tie against the Raiders. He also had a five-yard punt return.
Horton got a steady diet of targets from Drew Lock while the Seahawks rested established starters such as Sam Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba and Cooper Kupp. Horton has frequently joined Smith-Njigba and Kupp with the first-team offense in training camp, and the rookie fifth-round pick kept building momentum with Thursday's performance, which included a 10-yard touchdown catch in the second quarter. Horton may get to play with Darnold in a game situation for the first time in Seattle's next preseason game, Aug. 15 against the Chiefs.

Seahawks' Tory Horton: Works with first-team offense
Rotowire
Horton worked with the first-team offense Friday, Gregg Bell of The Tacoma News Tribune reports.
Horton's an interesting prospect because he may have been drafted if he left college in 2022 after posting a 71-1,131-8 line at Colorado State, but he returned for his senior year and registered an even better 96-1,136-8 tally. He then chose to stay in school for a fifth season, which was cut short by a knee injury after just six games. Nevertheless, the Seahawks picked him in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft after he recorded a 4.41-second 40-yard dash at 6-foot-3, 195 pounds. Bell stated that Horton made multiple big plays with the starting offense and looks fully past his knee injury. The fact he's bumped veteran Marquez Valdes-Scantling to the second team this early in camp is an encouraging sign, making it clear Horton can secure the No. 3 job by finishing training camp strong.
The Seahawks selected Horton in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 166th overall.
There's always a reason when a player falls further than expected in the draft, but Horton is a player who always produced in college and demonstrated plus NFL speed with a 4.41-second 40-yard dash at 6-foot-3, 195 pounds. Horton stood out in a crowded Nevada rotation from 2020-21, at which point he transferred to Colorado State and torched for all of the next three years. Horton is light for his frame and missed the last six games of 2024 due to a knee injury, but if Horton's light frame isn't a problem and if the knee checks out fine then there's nothing obvious to stop Horton from eventually establishing himself as a quality boundary receiver in the NFL.
