My name is Chris Yah. I'm with the Seahawks PR staff. I have the media here. They're going to fire a few questions.

Oh, perfect. All right.

Emmanuel, where are you calling us from?

I mean, I'm in on Go shorts right now.

And who are you celebrating with?

I'm with all my family, you know, my little cousin, my brothers and sister, family friends.

Emmanuel, did you have contact with the Seahawks in the pre-draft process?

Oh, yes, I met with them and talked with a couple times throughout this process, you know, and I felt like they had a very interesting minute.

So they talked to you about special teams or any possible role?

Almost definitely, you know, a special team, a big part of my game, you know, but with my wide receiver ability, you know, so that's a great combo for them in the You have some background as a running back as well. The CX talked to you all about that part of role? Oh, yes, sir. Well, definitely, you know, I'm running back. I don't play multiple positions, you know. I don't, this past season at Kansas, you know, I would play in the back field song, so, you know, wherever I get a ball in my hands,

you know, I feel like, you know, that's a good job doing.

Did the Seahawks talk to you about a running back potential role?

Not really.

Manuel, how did you kind of describe your game as a player?

Definitely fast.

You started your career at Alabama, ended up at Kansas.

What went into that decision?

You know, there's more opportunities.

You know, I took advantage of the opportunities I got out of Alabama.

But getting in Kansas, I felt like it was an open door, you know, and, you know,

you gave me an opportunity to showcase what I can do.

Have you been to Seattle before?
