Entering his sophomore campaign, Seattle Seahawks cornerback Ugo Amadi is committed to making fewer mistakes and playing more aggressively than he did in his rookie year.
“I feel like, especially on defense, the opportunity I got on the field, I feel like I never wanted to make a mistake,” Amadi told 710 ESPN Seattle.
Amadi stated he believes he will be able to react to plays faster than in his rookie year now that he recognizes his previous miscues.
“Now that I’ve made a mistake, I can play a lot faster now,” Amadi said. “I feel like I was playing timid and when I’d see things, I wouldn’t go right away like I did in college. But I feel like with a year under my belt, I’m going to be able to react instead of thinking and then reacting. I was just trying to play everything safe and I feel like next year I’m going to be a lot more confident to be more aggressive, especially on defense.”
Amadi went on to say that he loves playing for Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, partially because he was a fan of USC football when Carroll coached there.
“To be honest with you, I love every bit of (playing for Carroll),” he said. “Every moment we have, everything. Getting drafted there, I was always a big USC fan, especially when Pete Carroll was there and when I got the opportunity to be coached by him, I embrace every moment I have with him.”
Amadi will have his opportunities in 2020 if the season does not get canceled by the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
