Seahawks' Tariq Woolen: Makes DROY case

Woolen posted 63 tackles (46 solo), 16 pass breakups and six interceptions, including a pick-six, over 17 games during the regular season.

Once viewed as a raw but uber-athletic prospect, Woolen showed he is actually a fine-tuned, potentially elite NFL cornerback from the start. Woolen switched to cornerback in college at UTSA, and he ran a 4.26 40-yard dash at 6-foot-4, 205 pounds. He started every game as a rookie and tied for the league lead with six interceptions and landed fourth with 16 pass breakups. He's in the Defensive Rookie of the Year conversation, and whether he wins it or not, Woolen appears to have a bright future in the league.
