The Seattle Seahawks have selected former Notre Dame defensive lineman Rylie Mills in the fifth round of the 2025 NFL Draft. Mills was taken with the No. 142 overall pick.

There had to have been a moment in December or sometime thereafter, when Rylie Mills was told he’d never play another down for Notre Dame because of a season- and career-ending knee injury, when Mills realized his next snap would come in the colors of an NFL team to be named later.
