It’s been several years since the Seattle Seahawks had one of the best DB rooms in football. Heading into the 2022 season, we feel that may finally change. Armed with serious talent at safety, depth at cornerback and having plugged their hole in the slot, we feel this could be one of the strongest secondaries in the entire NFL this year.
Not everyone agrees. According to Pro Football Focus, this will actually be one of the worst in football. PFF has Seattle slotted all the way down at No. 30 in their secondary rankings. Only the Bears and Texans were placed lower.
“This is quite easily the scariest-looking cornerback group on paper in the NFL. And not for opposing offenses. If there is any silver lining, it’s that 2021 fourth-rounder Tre Brown outperformed expectations, albeit in limited playing time. On 162 coverage snaps as a rookie, he allowed only eight catches on 17 targets for 75 yards while playing exclusively on the outside.”
