Ricky Seals-Jones

Roderick "Ricky" Seals-Jones (born March 15, 1995) is an American former professional football player who was a tight end in the National Football League (NFL). He played college football for the Texas A&M Aggies as a wide receiver and signed with the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent in 2017. He was also a member of the Cleveland Browns, Kansas City Chiefs, Washington Redskins, New York Giants and Indianapolis Colts.

A two-sport athlete at Sealy High School, Seals-Jones was a dominant force at the 3A Texas high school football level and was also named a Parade All-American in basketball.

Seals-Jones played college football at Texas A&M University from 2013 to 2016 under head coach Kevin Sumlin.

As a true freshman in 2013, he ended up redshirting after only appearing in two games before suffering a season-ending injury. In the game against Rice, he had his first three collegiate receptions for 84 yards, which included a 71-yard touchdown reception from quarterback Matt Joeckel.

As a redshirt freshman in 2014, his role in the offense expanded. In the season opener against #9 South Carolina, he recorded five receptions for 67 yards and a touchdown. In the next two games, against Lamar and Rice, he recorded a receiving touchdown in both games. On October 4, in a 48–31 loss against SEC West rival #12 Mississippi State, he had a season-high 10 receptions for 72 yards. He finished his redshirt freshman season with a single reception for 21 yards against West Virginia in the 45–37 victory in the 2014 Liberty Bowl.

As a redshirt sophomore in 2015, he played in all 13 games. On October 3, he scored his first receiving touchdown of the season against #21 Mississippi State. On October 17, he had his best collegiate performance against #10 Alabama with six receptions for 107 yards and a touchdown. He finished out the season with three receptions for 18 yards and a touchdown in the 27–21 defeat to Louisville in the 2015 Music City Bowl.

As a redshirt junior in 2016, his production dropped but still was an important contributor to the Aggies. On September 3, against #16 UCLA in the season opener, he had four receptions for 57 yards in the 31–24 victory. On September 24, against #17 Arkansas, he recorded one reception for 47 yards before suffering a left leg injury. He returned from his injury to play against #1 Alabama over a month later, but only had a single reception for 25 yards in the 33–14 loss. On November 19, against UTSA, he had six receptions for a season-high 75 yards. In his final game with the Aggies, he had six receptions for 34 yards and his lone touchdown of the 2016 season in the 33–28 loss to the Kansas State Wildcats in the 2016 Texas Bowl. After the 2016 season, he decided to enter the 2017 NFL draft.

Seals-Jones was signed by the Arizona Cardinals as an undrafted free agent on May 2, 2017. The Cardinals chose to switch Seals-Jones from a wide receiver to tight end when he reported to training camp. He was waived on September 2, 2017, and was signed to the practice squad the next day. He was promoted to the active roster on September 25, 2017.
