The Seattle Seahawks addressed their defensive back room with the second pick of the 2026 NFL Draft, selecting interception machine Bud Clark from TCU. He was second-team All-Big XII in consecutive seasons with the Horned Frogs, plus he was team captain. Clark is, shall we say, experienced as a sixth-year senior, so he’s an older prospect at 24 years old.
Clark may not be a big safety in terms of weight at 188 lbs, but he doesn’t let that deter him whatsoever. The self-dubbed “Wolverine” has shown
himself to be a standout player in coverage, recording 15 interceptions over his final four seasons. Clark also impressed with 4.4 speed in the 40-yard dash at the NFL Scouting Combine.
While Clark figures to be a direct replacement for Coby Bryant, who joined the Chicago Bears in free agency, Mike Macdonald knows what’s in store for him at an NFL level. He could potentially take some slot corner snaps in addition to deep safety.
