Seahawks' Clark Eyes Chancellor's Legacy

On April 25th, Seahawks just beefed up their defense by drafting safety

Bud Clark after grabbing a running back early in the first round.

They needed depth bad, and Clark plus another pick name, Neil,

give them solid backups ready to step up right away while they grow.

Clark sliding in with a crew already making noise as safety,

Julian Love, Tyle Cotta, and stand out rookie Nick Mnworry.

But Clark's got his eyes on a Seahawks icon from the Super Bowl days,

Cam Chancellor, who anchored that legendary back end over a decade ago.

Fans and folks in Seattle are buzzing because Clark straight up patterns his hard-hitting style

after Chancellor, the guy who brought the thunder. Every snap.

It's got that old school vibe mixed with fresh energy, perfect for the secondary's evolution.

Under new coach Mike McDonald, who's only been around two seasons,

young guys like Mnworry get thrown into the mix fast and usually deliver.

Clark's got the tools to compete with Love and Ocata,

and McDonald's track record says he's got a real shot to earn trust quick.

Keep watching this space. Clark channeling Chancellor could spark something special

in Seattle's defense next year, keeping that fierce tradition alive.
