Seattle Sea Dragons: 2023 All-XFL and NFL camp invites

The Seattle Sea Dragons 2023 season is over, but some Seattle players are still making news.
Losing to DC in the XFL Playoffs was a tough way for the Seattle Sea Dragons to end the season. Especially after they did so much over the final few weeks of the regular season to get there in the first place.
Before looking ahead to what’s in store for 2024, members of this year’s team are generating interest in various circles. Three players made the All-XFL Team, and several others are invited to NFL training and mini camps.
All XFL
Three players from the Sea Dragons made the 2023 All-XFL team as voted on by XFL Head Coaches and/or Directors of Player Personnel. Fans would think a team that won 70% of their games should have more players represented.
Collin Kelly, OT
Offensive tackle Collin Kelly was part of the line that allowed the second-fewest sacks in the league.
Austin Faoliu, DL
Austin Faoliu was excellent at stuffing the run. He had 24 tackles, including 2 for loss and 1 sack.
Jahcour Pearson, WR
Receiver Jahcour Pearson deserved this honor. He led the league in receptions (60), receiving yards (670), and tied for seventh in touchdown receptions (4).
NFL Camps
The following is a list of Seattle Sea Dragons players invited to NFL camps:
Barry Wesley, OT – Atlanta Falcons
Antwaun Jackson, DL – Carolina Panthers
Ben DiNucci, QB – Denver Broncos
Steven Montez, QB – San Francisco 49ers
Harrison Frost, QB – New Orleans Saints
Olaijah Griffin, DB – Tennessee Titans
DL Niko Lalos, DL – New Orleans Saints
Michal Menet, OL – Atlanta Falcons
Bryce Thompson, DB – Miami Dolphins
Antoine Brooks, LB – Buffalo Bills
Kelly – Kansas City Chiefs
Faoliu – Seattle Seahawks
Pearson is choosing between the San Francisco 49ers, Atlanta Falcons, and Indianapolis Colts.
Several more Sea Dragons should get invites. Among them are WRs Josh Gordon and Blake Jackson, RB Phillip Lindsay (in talks to return to Denver Broncos), LBs Tre Walker and Jordan Evans, and kick returner Kelvin McNight.
