The NFL season is only a few weeks away and who the Seahawks’ starting cornerbacks are is anybody’s guess. In last night’s preseason game against the Broncos, head coach Pete Carroll used a heavy rotation at the position, trying out several different combinations on the back end.
One of the corners who’s competing for snaps is rookie Tre Brown, the team’s fourth-round pick in this year’s draft. After the game, Brown said his confidence is growing each week.
“It grows every time I’m out there, going against those guys like DK (Metcalf) and just me continuing to build the confidence out there. If I can cover DK at practice, that just goes to show that I can go out there and compete with those guys and cover anybody. That’s why they drafted me because they believed in me and I believe in myself as well when I go out there and cover the first team guys. Just going out there and covering those guys and knowing that I have the confidence and running with the ones.”
Brown is a bit undersized for a typical Seattle corner – he checks in at 5-foot-10 and 185 pounds. He has been showing a great deal of potential at training camp, though. Brown might have a legitimate chance to earn a starting position at some point this season.
