Riq Woolen has been a pretty divisive player for the Seattle Seahawks since he was drafted by the team in 2022. 12s loved the player at first as he appeared to be a long-term shutdown cornerback and another fifth-round steal for the team. Then things changed.
After getting six interceptions as a rookie, tying for the NFL lead, he has had a total of five in the three seasons since. He was still solid in coverage, but not as good as in his first season. Plus, he appeared not to want to get involved in run defense.
The odd part was that as a rookie, Woolen played a physical game that reminded some of how Seahawks icon Richard Sherman used to play.
