There’s been some chatter about Tariq Woolen, the Seattle Seahawks’ latest fifth-round diamond. And none of it is about him being “in the rough,” not anymore.
Chiseled from the same body type as Richard Sherman, only with Deion Sanders’ speed, Woolen has harvested the most interceptions in the league through six weeks. That’s how you muscle yourself into the Defensive Rookie of the Year conversation. Four more picks in the next six weeks and he graduates to a different convo, where we drop the term “rookie.”
Over the next three days, this space will present every target thrown Woolen’s way, every righteous and ridiculous flag tossed in his general direction, and every interception recklessly lobbed at his zip code.
