Tre Flowers wasn’t supposed to be the Seattle Seahawks’ starting right cornerback. He was due to be stashed away as depth while Dontae Johnson or Byron Maxwell played opposite Shaquill Griffin. Instead, the safety-to-corner convert was thrown to the wolves in Week 1, struggled mightily and missed the following week due to injury, but since his return? He’s been a difference maker in the revamped Seahawks secondary.
Seattle’s defense is tied for second in the NFL with 11 takeaways, and Flowers has been involved in three of them over the past three weeks. His first one was a pass break-up on Michael Gallup of the Dallas Cowboys, as Earl Thomas somehow trapped the loose ball against his leg for an interception.
