Seahawks Eye Treydan Stukes for Riq Woolen Replacement

On April 10th, Seattle Seahawks just lost cornerback Rick Willen to free agency after his standout rookie year with six interceptions back in 20.

22.

The fifth round pick, turned into a headache over the next three seasons, so now the team's hunting for replacement in the 2026 draft.

They're visiting Arizona's trade-and-stukes this week to check them out.

Stukes bring solid speed with a 4.3340 yard dash time, but he's three inches shorter than the six foot four Willen and already.

Turning 25 by week one of 2026.

Fans and scouts see Stukes as steady most of the time, though he had some rough moments like a suspension for breaking team rules last year.

Still, his four picks last season show he can snag balls and his character checks out fine.

That ACL tear in 2024 raises flags about his long-term speed in health, dropping his ceiling compared to Willen, but lifting his floor.

Way higher.

Word is the Seahawks might slot him inside or even at safety under Mike McDonald, maybe grabbing him mid rounds to fill the gap left by Kobe Bryant.

Heading to Chicago.

Smart move if they play to his strengths.
