Seahawks Legend K.J. Wright Excited About Rookie CB Tariq Woolen

Good morning, 12s. Here’s a look at what’s out there today – Monday, August 29 – about your Seattle Seahawks.

Seattle Seahawks rookie cornerback Tariq Woolen is out to prove that he’s more than just speed as he continues to adapt to life as a cornerback. While being a rookie may be challenging, Woolen has a major supporter in Seahawks LegendK.J. Wright. The recent-retiree sat down with Seattle Sports 710AM’s Bump and Stacy show to discuss why Woolen is his ‘favorite’ rookie.

Seahawks LegendK.J. Wright re-signed with the Seahawks to retire in front of family, friends and teammates at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center. Never a stranger to the building, Wright first observed Woolen at Seahawks OTAs.

“When I saw this guy in OTAs, I was like, ‘Who is this guy making these plays, getting these interceptions?’ Tall and fast,” said Wright. “Oh my God, he made a phenomenal play in OTA’s, and you see him now, he’s comfortable, his technique looks really good, he has the speed.”
