The Seahawks have signed wide receiver Jeff Fuller, who has spent the last three seasons with the Calgary Stampeders of the Canadian Football League.

The move is listed on Thursday’s NFL transaction report, which confirms what was first reported by
Scott Mitchell of the Calgary Sun. The Seahawks also signed running back Cameron Marshall.

Fuller, 25, is listed at 6 feet 4 and 217 pounds. He was undrafted out of Texas A&M in 2012, where he shattered the school’s receiving records with 233 catches, 3,092 yards and 34 touchdowns over his four-year career. Fuller spent time during his rookie season on the Dolphins’ practice squad then signed with Calgary in September of 2013. He posted career-highs with 47 catches and 619 yards last season while scoring three touchdowns.

Seattle’s deal with Fuller brings to mind Chris Matthews, another big-bodied receiver whom the Seahawks once signed from the CFL. In fact, the Calgary Sun reporter drew that comparison, describing Fuller in a tweet like this: “Big WR with NFL size, looks just like Chris Matthews physically. Inconsistent hands, history of injuries. Lots of upside tho.”

Here’s a highlight video from Fuller’s college career.

Marshall, 24, is listed at 5 feet 9 and 217 pounds. He also spent time with Miami after going undrafted out of Arizona State in 2013.

Before signing Fuller and Marshall, the Seahawks signed 18 players to futures contracts for the 2016 season.
