The Seattle Seahawks have had a lot of success in recent years, and their cornerback depth has been a big part of that. However, the team recently suffered a major setback when starting cornerback Tariq Woolen was injured in a preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings. While the injury was unfortunate, it has highlighted the depth the Seahawks have at the cornerback position.
The Seahawks have been able to build a strong secondary over the past few seasons, and this year they have added several new players to the mix. Shaquill Griffin and Tre Flowers are two of the most notable additions, and they have both been impressive in training camp and the preseason. Griffin is a former third-round pick who has shown the ability to play both outside and in the slot, while Flowers is a rookie who has already shown promise as a physical corner.
The team also has some veterans in the mix, including Justin Coleman and Neiko Thorpe. Coleman is entering his fourth season with the team and has been a reliable starter for the past two years. Thorpe is a veteran who has been with the team since 2015 and has been a valuable contributor on special teams.
The Seahawks also have some young players who could make an impact this season. Akeem King is a third-year player who has been impressive in training camp and the preseason, while Kalan Reed is a rookie who could see some playing time this year.
The injury to Tariq Woolen was unfortunate, but it has highlighted the depth the Seahawks have at the cornerback position. With Griffin, Flowers, Coleman, Thorpe, King, and Reed all vying for playing time, the Seahawks should be able to weather Woolen’s absence and continue to be one of the top defenses in the league.
