The Seattle Seahawks have a definite need at cornerback following Riq Woolen’s free agent departure for the Philadelphia Eagles. Even if Nehemiah Pritchett is more or less Woolen’s direct replacement in Seattle’s defensive rotation, there are literally no other cornerbacks on the depth chart aside from Pritchett, Devon Witherspoon, and Josh Jobe.
It should therefore come as no surprise that the first two pre-NFL Draft 30 visits are at the cornerback position. Jacob Infante reported last week that the Seahawks
met with Toledo’s Andre Fuller, while Ryan Fowler reported that the Seahawks are expected to host San Diego State cornerback Chris Johnson.
Fuller played three seasons at Toledo, having missed all of 2024 with a core muscle injury. At 6’1 and 200 pounds, he’s got a little more size to him than the current Seahawks cornerback room. He’s projected as a late Day 3 draft pick after his performance at the Shrine Bowl and subsequent 4.49 40-yard dash (with a 35” vertical jump) at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
Listed a 6’0 and 193 lbs, Johnson is touted as a possible late first-round or early second-round pick after his Senior Bowl and impressive showing at the combine. He raised eyebrows with his 4.4 40-yard dash, 38” vertical jump, and 10’6 broad jump. Johnson played four seasons at San Diego State, establishing himself as an NFL prospect with an outstanding senior year in which he picked off four passes (two returned for touchdowns) and recorded three tackles for loss. One of his best traits is his tackling, which shows up all over his film and in the stats.
As a reminder: official 30 visits mean that every team is allowed up to 30 formal in-person meetings with non-local* college prospects. Those players are brought into the team facility for interviews and a physical. An official 30 visit doesn’t mean they are the top 30 prospects in the sport or a top 30 prospect for a specific team, despite the common phrasing of “top 30 visit.”
*- A local prospect is defined by the NFL as someone who attends college or is from a “local metropolitan area as defined by a current Rand McNally map.”
