Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald has proven a few things in his time in the NFL. One is that he is a good defensive coach. Another is that he might be the best safety whisperer that the league has seen in years.
Almost certainly, a safety will improve under Macdonald if they do as Macdonald instructs. This happened with the Baltimore Ravens when Kyle Hamilton became a First-Team All-Pro in his second season in the league with Macdonald as his defensive coordinator.
Last season with the Seahawks, third-year pro Coby Bryant became the latest Macdonald to hit big.
