The Seattle Seahawks have a young secondary with numerous rookies in the fold who may be promising pieces for the near future and could be expected to make an impact early on in the 2022 season. Head coach Pete Carroll has been consulting with a very familiar face regarding the young defensive backs.
Former Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman attended the team’s mock game at Lumen Field on Saturday to observe them in action.
“I think Sherm is just curious. I think he’s just trying to keep up with it. It was really good to see him.” Carroll said.
The twelfth-year Seahawks head coach revealed that he plans to meet with Sherman again this week, presumably to discuss the current state of the secondary, their potential, and room for improvement.
“I’ll talk with him again this week,” Carroll said. “He got to watch our guys, and we have some stuff to talk about.”
Safeties Jamal Adams and Quandre Diggs are in the prime of their respective careers, but rookie cornerbacks Coby Bryant and Tariq Woolen will be the ones to watch in the coming weeks.
Sherman knows a thing or two about elite secondary play, so his insight should prove valuable. Hopefully, it will help Carroll and the defensive coaching staff understand what they need to do to bring these particular young guns along.
