The Seahawks selected Colorado State WR Tory Horton with the 167th pick of Round 5 in the 2025 NFL Draft. Horton started his career at Nevada, quickly ascending the depth chart. He then transferred to Colorado State, where a pass-friendly offense turned him loose. Horton had two straight 1,100-yard receiving seasons in 2022 and 2023. He was poised for another big season in 2024, but a knee/hamstring injury kept him out for most of the season. He had a 9.81 Relative Athletic Score (RAS) based on his predraft testing. He also ranked 47th among Combine WRs in 2024 Target Share at 10.1%, and 16th among those WRs in PFF Receiving Grade with an 81.4. He is currently 22 years old with a Breakout Age of 19.8. He ranked 16th among WRs in our Draft Sharks predraft Rookie Model scoring a 6.48. Our Comp for him in our Rookie Guide is Laurent Robinson. At 6’3 with 4.41 speed, Horton has the athleticism and YAC ability to be an instant contributor in the NFL

2025 Fantasy Football Impact

After trading away D.K. Metcalf and releasing Tyler Lockett, the Seahawks need more weapons.

They drafted TE Elijah Arroyo in the second round, but Horton offers an outside WR who was extremely productive.

His knee injury likely moved Horton down the board for many teams, but he has NFL starting talent.

Dynasty Impact

With little competition on the outside, Horton could be a WR who immediately outperforms his draft position.

If he falls to the fourth round of rookie drafts, Horton could be an absolute steal.

Keep an eye on camp reports to see if he is showing that potential.
