Arriving via trade just prior to the 2017 season, Justin Coleman quickly took over the nickel corner job and made it his own. Coleman boasted the fifth lowest passer rating when targeted in the slot, two pick-sixes, nine pass breakups and a penchant for blitzes as he established himself as one of the Seattle Seahawks’ best defenders.
Following an offseason filled with turnover, Coleman entered the 2018 season as one of the only known quantities on the Seahawks’ defense. Coleman, along with Shaquill Griffin and Bradley McDougald, are tasked with shaping a new generation of Seattle defensive backs, and have gotten off to a great start.
