Twitter can’t believe the Seahawks compared Riq Woolen to Pat Surtain

Riq Woolen Pat Surtain Seahawks Patrick Surtain Tariq Woolen Seahawk Seattle

The Seattle Seahawks posted a bizarre graphic on their official Twitter/X page last week that seemingly suggested Riq Woolen is comparable to Pat Surtain.

The graphic showed targets against Surtain and Woolen (93 vs. 71), completions allowed (56 vs. 41), interceptions (1 vs. 2), TDs allowed (3 vs. 3) and yards allowed (701 vs. 391). A key stat Seattle did not mention: Surtain played 1,121 snaps whereas Woolen played 939 snaps.

Surtain was named a Pro Bowler this season. Woolen, a Pro Bowler last year, was benched during the 2023 season.

Surtain responded to the graphic last week: “lol this is crazy ! And I didn’t give up nowhere near 700 yds btw.”

Pro Football Reference credits PS2 with allowing 660 receiving yards in 2023 and Woolen with allowing 384 receiving yards.

Surtain clarified in a follow-up tweet that his response was not a knock against Woolen: “And I got nothing but respect for Riq that’s my boy lol 💯.” It seems that Surtain was merely surprised to see the Seahawks make the comparison. Denver Broncos fans were also shocked.

Admittedly, Surtain had somewhat of a down year by his usual standards, but he’s still one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL. Woolen has a long ways to go before he’s considered in the same category as PS2.
