Former Shaw offensive lineman Edawn Coughman was signed to the Seattle Seahawks 90-man roster Monday.
Coughman (6-4, 305) was a 2009 First Team All-CIAA selection and made the roster after a tryout during the Seahawks' mini-camp last season.
Last season, Coughman moved into a starting slot on the offensive line for the Toronto Argonauts of the Canadian Football League.
"We're proud of him," said Shaw head coach Robert Massey. "He did it right. He came here, worked hard, got his degree and is now reaping the benefits. We can now say that Shaw has someone on an NFL roster."
