NFL experience:|
Forsythe is entering his fifth NFL season. He spent his first four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks. He signed with the New York Giants as a free agent and was released. The Raiders signed him as a free agent, replacing tackle Thayer Munford. Forsythe has started NFL 14 games, with eight coming in 2023.
College:
Forsythe went to Florida. He was a sixth-round draft choice of the Seahawks in 2021.
