Shaquill Griffin is the best newcomer for the Seahawks in 2017

It’s been a little bit of an adventure for the Seattle Seahawks to find that ideal cornerback opposite Richard Sherman. The “Legion of Boom” as we know them began with Brandon Browner as the starting RCB, but when Browner got hurt (and also suspended) midway through 2013, Byron Maxwell proved to be a fantastic replacement. In the 2015 offseason, Seattle did not re-sign Maxwell, who flamed out spectacularly in his one season with the Eagles, and was recently benched (again) by the Miami Dolphins.

The first post-Maxwell solution was Cary Williams, who was so bad that he didn’t even last one season before getting binned.
