The Seattle Seahawks are in the process of developing the best secondary in the NFL. They may not be quite there yet. An LOB2 label is still premature. But it’s tantalizingly close.
They have a fine perimeter corner in Riq Woolen, and an even better all-field corner in Devon Witherspoon. At safety, Julian Love and Coby Bryant may not be quite the equal of Detroit’s dynamic duo of Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph, but nobody in the NFL has a third safety with the playmaking ability of Seahawks’ rookie Nick Emmanwori.
Of course, to be elite, a unit must have depth.
