Cornerback is a position the Seahawks have filled with youth, potential and upside this offseason. Now they’ve got to figure out how the pieces fit for 2022 and beyond.
Staying on the topic of experience concerns for a moment, the only one of the twelve players on that list who has started a full season worth of games at the NFL level is Burns. Burns logged 1,784 of his 2,412 career defensive snaps during his first two seasons in the NFL, during which he started 25 of 32 games. However, he was benched just a few games into the 2018 season, and has started only 13 games while playing 628 defensive snaps over the past four seasons.
Now, youth and inexperience does not mean a player will be bad, as Tre Brown excelled when given a shot to play and start as a rookie in 2021. That said, youth and inexperience do tend to mean growing pains, especially in a new system, so struggles along the way shouldn’t come as a surprise to fans. What could come as a surprise to fans, though, is which of these names might not make the initial 53 man roster out of training camp when final cuts arrive. Since Pete Carroll and John Schneider arrived in 2010, the Hawks have never carried more than six cornerbacks on the initial 53 man roster, which makes cornerback one of the positions to watch during camp.
Burns and Sidney Jones likely have the inside track on roster spots at this point, between Burns’ experience with Desai as a member of thein 2021 and Jones’ experience playing for Carroll. Assuming they both make the roster, that likely leaves four spots. The first names that fans are likely to slot into those spots are the fourth and fifth picks in the 2022 draft in Bryant and Woolen.
