Following the conclusion of the 2023 NFL draft, the Seattle Seahawks signed Bobo on May 12, 2023 as an undrafted free agent.[13] Following a standout preseason, during which starting wide receiver DK Metcalf praised him as "more detailed than I will ever be,"[14] the Seahawks announced that he had made the initial 53-man roster.[15] In a Week 2 win against the Detroit Lions, Bobo caught his first regular-season NFL pass, gaining three yards on a toss from Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith.[16] Bobo caught his first regular-season NFL touchdown during the Week 3 victory over the Carolina Panthers when he came down with a 5-yard jump ball from Smith during the fourth quarter.[17][18] As a rookie, he appeared in all 17 games. He finished with 19 receptions for 196 yards and two touchdowns.[19] Bobo also scored a rushing touchdown on a three-yard carry, which was his only rushing attempt that season.

"More Bobo"

[edit | edit source]

Amid an outstanding training camp in 2023, running backs coach Chad Morton coined the phrase "More Bobo,"[20] which was quickly picked up by the locker room in recognition of his consistent performance and playmaking abilities. The phrase grew in popularity among both teammates and fans as Bobo continued to impress, with multiple teammates including starters Kenneth Walker and Geno Smith,[21][22] repeating it during press conferences; the Associated Press and the Seahawks organization noting the use of the #MoreBobo hashtag among fans.[22][23]

Personal life

[edit | edit source]

Bobo is the son of Mike and Casey Bobo, who both graduated from Dartmouth College.[24] Mike played college football at Dartmouth as a wide receiver, where he helped the Big Green to an Ivy League championship,[25] but is not the same Mike Bobo who is currently the offensive coordinator for the Georgia Bulldogs.[26] Bobo's grandfather, Keith Bobo, played quarterback at SMU and was a 12th round selection of the Dallas Cowboys in the 1974 NFL draft.[2]

Bobo is a Christian, he occasionally references his faith on social media.
