Simms agreed to a contract with the Seahawks on Tuesday, Bob Condotta of The Seattle Times reports.
An undrafted free agent in 2019, Simms failed to catch on in the NFL after being waived from the Jaguars' injured reserve with a concussion in November of his rookie season. He turned heads in the UFL this spring however, logging 23 catches for 426 yards and three touchdowns with the Michigan Panthers. Simms also tallied over 1,000 yards as a returner during his collegiate career at West Virginia. He'll likely need to leverage his skills on special teams in order to carve out a role with Seattle this offseason.
