Brandon Marshall is paying off in ways the Seahawks probably didn’t consider.
And in way that Tre Flowers probably could never have imagined when Seattle drafted him four months ago.
Marshall is the 34-year-old, six-time Pro Bowl wide receiver whom the rest of the NFL thinks is finished. He may end up having a large role in Seattle’s offense—and in the team’s present and future on defense, too.
Flowers is the Seahawks’ rookie fifth-round pick they are converting from Oklahoma State safety to NFL cornerback. This conversion is no small matter. Tuesday, for the first time, Flowers was the starting right cornerback.
