Seahawks film: Breaking down all 6 of Tariq Woolen’s interceptions from his rookie season

Tariq Woolen was arguably the biggest breakout star in the NFL last season. The Seattle Seahawks 2022 fifth-round pick out of UTSA burst onto the scene, flashing promising skills in preseason which led to a Week 1 starting role. He parlayed that into a six-interception rookie season which was good enough for a second-place finish in the DROY voting behind New York Jets corner Ahmad ‘Sauce’ Gardner. Part of what made Woolen’s rookie year so impressive was his ball production, which is something that he did not show in college (with just two interceptions at UTSA). That sudden jump in ball production does raise the question of how sustainable is his rookie year total on a year-to-year basis?
