Sandwiched in between the L.J. Collier and DK Metcalf picks in the 2019 NFL Draft, Marquise Blair figured to be the future at the safety position for the Seattle Seahawks. Earl Thomas had departed, Bradley McDougald ended up aging pretty rapidly, and Tedric Thompson was self-explanatory.
Entering his contract year, it’s been a frustrating time in the NFL for the former Utah star.
Blair sparsely played in his rookie season even though it stands to date as his only (mostly) healthy year. He started three games in the middle of 2019, and after the Quandre Diggs trade he was relegated back to special teams, appearing in only a handful of defensive snaps the rest of the way.
