Toomer

He takes Manti Te’o’s roster spot after Te’o tore his Achilles’ last Sunday. Toomer has 18 games of experience and will likely pitch in on special teams.

A Pro Day warrior, Toomer ran a 4.53 forty and posted a 42-inch vertical leap while impressing in positional drills. He offered plenty of versatility as a senior while playing linebacker, defensive end, and even fullback which earned him second-team all-conference honors. Toomer missed his entire junior season due to injury and is a project for the Seahawks that will likely start his career on special teams.

Toomer is the most notable name after he was a fifth-round selection by Seattle in the 2012 draft out of Idaho. He was a workout specimen at his Pro Day, running a 4.53 forty and posting a 42-inch vertical. Parker bounced between the Panthers and Seahawks for much of the season. These nine guys will try to make the team out of camp this summer.

It’s the value of Toomer’s low tender as an RFA. Signed off the Raiders’ practice squad in September, Toomer made eight starts and played 479 snaps for the Bolts, receiving really strong run-defense marks from Pro Football Focus. He gave the Chargers much-needed athleticism inside.

A 2012 fifth-round pick from Idaho, Toomer has yet to play an NFL down but could enter the mix to start at strong-side linebacker if Bruce Irvin’s hip surgery shelves him into the season. Seattle’s alternative would be to move WLB K.J. Wright to Sam, and start Malcolm Smith at weak side. Toomer weighed 6'2/234 at his 2012 Pro Day. He blazed a 4.53 forty with a Shazierian 42-inch vertical.

Toomer has spent the last two seasons with the Chargers, amassing 118 tackles in 16 starts. The Colts could really use help at linebacker, especially after Jon Bostic left for the Steelers in free agency.

Toomer visited the Colts last month. Something of a journeyman, Toomer made 16 starts for the Chargers over the past two seasons.

Toomer logged a pair of sacks and forced five fumbles as a 16-game starter the past two years. His transition to 49ers DC Robert Saleh’s scheme should be seamless after playing in Bolts DC Gus Bradley’s similar system last year.

A sixth-year veteran with 16 starts under his belt, Toomer gives the Packers’ thin linebacking corps some experienced depth. CB Herb Waters was waived in a corresponding move.

A third-year fifth rounder, Toomer appeared in one game for the Cowboys this season. Toomer has freakish athleticism, but has never been able to translate it to Sundays.
