Tre Flowers, a converted cornerback who played safety during his playing days at Oklahoma State, spent his NFL debut for the Seattle Seahawks on Thursday night lining up opposite an offense that featured a renewed Andrew Luck.
For most of the first half at CenturyLink Field — during which Flowers played every defensive snap — he tracked a six-year veteran in Indianapolis receiver T.Y. Hilton.
Did any of this daunt the 23-year-old rookie? Not really. He got the jitters out and started competing.
“Before the game I was pretty nervous, but everybody was talking to me,” Flowers said.
