Anthony Bradford (born April 28, 2001)[1] is an American professional football guard for the Seattle Seahawks of the National Football League (NFL). He played college football at LSU.

Early years

[edit]

Bradford was born in Muskegon, Michigan.[2] He attended Muskegon High School and was a highly-regarded offensive lineman, helping the team win 27 consecutive games while appearing at both guard and tackle.[3][4][5] A consensus four-star prospect, he was ranked the third-best player from Michigan according to Rivals.com, as well as the 11th-best offensive tackle nationally.[4] Bradford received numerous NCAA FBS scholarship offers, eventually choosing to play for LSU.[6][7][8]

College career

[edit]

Bradford redshirted his true freshman year in 2019, appearing in three games during LSU's national championship season.[9][10] The following season, he played seven games, with the majority of his playing time coming on special teams.[9] He began 2021 with five starts through the first six games, before an injury ended his season.[9][11]

Bradford was a key figure for the team in 2022, helping them go from 6–7 the prior year to 10–4, reaching the conference championship.[10] He appeared in 13 games, 12 of which he started, only missing their match against Mississippi State for undisclosed reasons.[4][12] He appeared on a total of 899 snaps on the year and only allowed four sacks, while being called for just two penalties.[4] Bradford's primary position during his final year of college was at right guard, where he took 736 snaps.[13]

Bradford declared for the NFL draft following the season, and finished his stint at LSU with 29 games played, 17 of which he started at three different positions on the line.[4][14]
