Seahawks Risk It on Undrafted Corner | NFL News

Smith impressed scouts with his smarts, toughness, and instincts during preseason stints with the Chargers, and fits well in Seattle’s defensive scheme. While he’s expected to start on special teams and contribute at multiple spots, his roster spot isn’t guaranteed — with players like Tyrion Arnold returning and Trayvon Diggs likely moving up. Still, GM John Schneider’s track record suggests this could be a smart, low-risk play with high upside. Can Smith surprise everyone?
