From Waivers to the Winner’s Circle: Josh Jobe’s Super Bowl Moment
Josh Jobe’s journey to the Super Bowl stage wasn’t just unlikely - it was the kind of story that makes the NFL so compelling. From going undrafted out of Alabama in 2022 to locking down a starting role with the Seahawks in 2025, Jobe’s rise has been fueled by persistence, grit, and a whole lot of belief in himself. And on the biggest stage of all, he delivered.
In Seattle’s 29-13 Super Bowl win, Jobe didn’t just hold his own - he made his presence felt. Seven tackles, one for a loss, and a pass breakup.
But the stat line only tells part of the story. The Patriots went after him, testing him with multiple targets throughout the game, and he stood tall.
He allowed just three receptions for around a dozen yards. That’s lockdown corner play on the league’s biggest night.
It’s a full-circle moment for a player who was waived by the Eagles in August 2024, just before their own Super Bowl run. Philly had just drafted Quinyon Mitchell and Cooper DeJean, and Jobe found himself the odd man out.
But the Seahawks saw something in him, signing him to their practice squad before promoting him to the active roster in November 2024. Fast forward a year, and he’s starting - and shining - in a Super Bowl.
The Seahawks dominated this one from the jump. It wasn’t pretty - in fact, some might call it one of the least competitive Super Bowls in recent memory - but it was effective.
Seattle bullied New England on both sides of the ball, and the Patriots simply didn’t have an answer. The scoreboard says 29-13, but the game never really felt that close.
Drake Maye padded the numbers a bit in garbage time, but by then, it was already over.
New England’s postseason run had been fueled by a favorable schedule and some key injuries to their opponents, but against a complete team like Seattle, those cracks were exposed. The Seahawks were the more physical, more prepared, and more balanced team from start to finish.
And at the heart of that performance was Josh Jobe - a player who refused to let early setbacks define his career. From undrafted to unwanted to undeniable, Jobe’s Super Bowl performance was a reminder that in the NFL, opportunity doesn’t always knock twice - but when it does, you'd better be ready.
Seattle’s defense was flying, their offense controlled the tempo, and their secondary - including Jobe - made life miserable for Maye and the Patriots' receiving corps. It was a statement win, and for Jobe, a personal triumph years in the making.
From the practice squad to the podium, Josh Jobe is now a Super Bowl champion. And he earned every bit of it.
