David Hawthorne (born May 14, 1985) is an American football linebacker who is currently with the Seattle Seahawks. He was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Seattle Seahawks. He played college football at TCU. His all-action, physical displays led to former fellow Seahawks linebacker, Lofa Tatupu, to give him the nickname, 'Heater'.
