Grey Zabel, the 18th overall pick in the 2025 NFL Draft and newest member of the Seattle Seahawks, joins the Like A Farmer Podcast for a wide-ranging, down-to-earth conversation about how his upbringing on the farm still drives him on and off the field. The North Dakota State standout opens up about the moment he got the draft call, why staying true to his roots meant more than chasing NIL dollars, and how close he came to a future in baseball as a left-handed flamethrower. We dig into what it was like walking into the Seahawks facility for the first time, and how he ended up with jersey #76 (yes, there's a Steve Hutchinson story). Grey also shares a hilarious story involving a White House visit and Donald Trump, his first big NFL purchase, and what fans can expect from the 2025 Seattle Seahawks.
