Wednesday Round-Up: Bleacher Report Picks Every NFL Team's 'Early Hidden Gem'

Good afternoon, 12s. Here’s a look at what’s “out there” for today — Wednesday, September 20 — about your Seattle Seahawks: B/R Picks Every NFL Team’s "Early Hidden Gem" Bleacher Report’s NFL1000 scouting project took a look around the league and picked the upcoming franchise cornerstones for every NFL team. As described by writer Doug Farrar, some of these players were overlooked in college, some found new schemes to fit and others developed gradually over time. For the Seahawks, the NFL1000 team picked Seahawks rookie Shaquill Griffin as an early hidden gem in Seattle’s defense. They believe Griffin is a strong fourth piece to the Seahawks’ Legion of Boom and has shown a lot of promise after the preseason and through the first two regular season games of his career: Griffin certainly fits the profile. Seattle likes its cornerbacks big and aggressive, and Griffin stands at 6'0" and 194 pounds. He was known in college as a player who was unafraid to press receivers at the line, and he's continued that in the NFL. Through two regular-season games, Griffin has allowed seven receptions on 10 targets for 74 yards, no touchdowns and an opponent passer rating of 84.2. He got a little lost against the Packers in Week 1 when they tested him with quick-breaking comeback routes, but he adjusted and has been a high-quality player ever since.
