When Bradley McDougald signed with the Seahawks as a free agent in the spring of 2017, he landed in an outstanding situation, providing depth to the NFL’s then-best safety tandem in Kam Chancellor and Earl Thomas. When Chancellor suffered a career-ending injury in Week 10 of that season and McDougald entered the lineup the following week, he again found a great situation: play alongside Thomas, the best deep safety on the planet, and take care of your responsibilities without having to worry about anything over the top. Over the next two seasons, McDougald’s best form consistently came when he was playing alongside Thomas.
