Seahawks Cornerback Riq woolen Showing Signs of Return to Form
Seattle Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen is demonstrating improved play, according to recent analysis from NFL Network’s daniel Jeremiah. The second-year player, who burst onto the scene with six interceptions as a rookie in 2022, had faced questions about his consistency entering the 2023 season.
Jeremiah’s observations, shared on Seattle Sports’ “Brock and Salk” show, highlight a visible shift in Woolen’s confidence and performance. This resurgence is especially timely for the Seahawks as they prepare to face the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday and navigate a competitive NFC West. A solidified secondary, led by a returning Woolen, is crucial for Seattle’s playoff aspirations.
“He has been much better,” Jeremiah stated. He also noted a positive change in Woolen’s demeanor, observing, ”And I even like after they make plays, you see him celebrating a little bit.He’s got a little bit of the swagger back to him, which as a corner I think is definitely necessary.”
the Seahawks recently made several roster moves, including the return of veteran safety Quandre Diggs, potentially bolstering the defensive backfield alongside Woolen. Seattle is currently in good health heading into the Vikings matchup,offering an opportunity for Woolen to further solidify his improved form.
