The Seahawks’ star safety is raving about the Washington Huskies’ star safety at the NFL combine.
The feeling is mutual.
Earl Thomas was among the many impressed by the performance of Budda Baker at the league’s annual scouting summit in Indianapolis that ended on Monday.
Baker, a Washington state-champion sprinter at Bellevue High School, ran a 4.45-second 40-yard dash at Lucas Oil Stadium. That was fourth-fastest among safeties at the combine -- and eye-opening considering he tackled and blitzed like a linebacker while excelling at for the Pac-12-champion Huskies.
There goes @buddabaker32!
