The Seahawks used a pair of draft picks on cornerbacks this year, igniting hope that this position may finally be turning around after several seasons of dysfunction following Richard Sherman’s exit.
By the looks of things, fifth-round pick Tariq Woolen is taking advantage of his opportunities. Woolen got to play with the first-team defense during Saturday’s mock game thanks to an injury for Sidney Jones. Woolen acquitted himself well and might be in the mix for serious playing time this season. Fans shouldn’t forget about fourth-round selection Coby Bryant, though. Doug Farrar at Touchdown Wire named Bryant’s cold-blooded low passer rating allowed in college as one stat that matters for Seattle.
