Tyrone Broden Switches to CB, Seahawks' Cornerback Room Shaken

0:00On May 1st, Seahawts players are hitting voluntary workouts early for the 20-26 season, shaking things up to give back in contention. One big move stands out, Rookie Tyrone Broden switching from Y receiver to Cornerback. The coaching staff sees potential in the move, and he's swapping to number 31. Broden rode the roster bubble last year as an undrafted free agent. He balled out at Bowling Green with 68 catches, over 1100 yards and 12 scores across two seasons. Then at Arkansas, production dipped to 30 receptions, 306 yards, and four touchdowns, but he still caught the team's eye. Fans might not know him yet, but his 6 foot 5 frame at 194 pounds brings rare size to the secondary. That speed and athleticism that helped him a receiver? It translates to covering deep threats. Plus, he links up with a former Arkansas teammate, third round pick Julian Neal, for some built-in chemistry. Don't expect him to crack the starting line up right away, the Seahawks cornerback

1:01room is stacked. Still, his unique build lets coaches experiment with matchups and fronts. Even on practice squad, he'd be goal for reps against their own receivers. As Seattle build momentum this offseason, Broden's reinvention could spark something special down the line.
