Chris Clemons and Lawrence Jackson are currently practicing as the Seahawks’ first-string defensive ends.

Jackson is the “Leo,” or left end, while Clemons is at the “elephant,” or right end position. Nick Reed is backing up Clemons, and rookie E.J. Wilson is behind Jackson. Defensive tackle Red Bryant is also getting work as a “five technique” defensive end in certain packages. It’s a run-stopping position.

Seahawks selected North Carolina DE E.J. Wilson with the No. 127 overall pick in the 2010 NFL Draft.

An interesting prospect, Wilson managed just 12 career sacks in 37 starts in Butch Davis’ pro-style defense. He was a bone-crusher when he got inside penetration, though, ripping off five forced fumbles as a senior and recovering two more. Wilson lacks ideal burst off the snap at 6-foot-2, 280, but will have a chance at early playing time for the end-shallow Seahawks.

The Seahawks will use fourth-round pick E.J. Wilson at left end, where he’ll be listed behind Lawrence Jackson on the depth chart.

It’s an ideal landing spot for Wilson. Despite being a first-round pick in 2008, Jackson hasn’t knocked anyone’s socks off. Wilson will give the Seahawks’ defensive line some much-needed size.

The Seahawks have reportedly agreed to terms with fourth-round DE E.J. Wilson on a four-year contract.

A three-year starter at North Carolina, Wilson adds much-needed size to the Seahawks’ line as a power rusher. He’ll line up behind starter Lawrence Jackson at left end, where he’ll have a chance for playing time as a rookie.

Bucs signed WR Ed Gant, OLs John Malecki and Marc Dile, FB Redrick Taylor, DE E.J. Wilson, S Vince Anderson, and LBs Simoni Lawrence and J.D. Folsom to reserve/future contracts.

Wilson was a seventh-round pick of Seattle, and projects as a potential early-down end who can kick to tackle in passing sets in the Bucs’ Cover 2. Gant was suspended four games in 2010 for violating the NFL’s policy on PEDs.
