2022 NFLDraft: Scouting report on Seahawks fifth-round pick Tariq Woolen
, corner was a major need for Seattle that they have now addressed with the selections of Coby Bryant and now Woolen.Games watched: 2021 Illinois, Western Kentucky regular season, Western Kentucky championship gameWoolen’s best attribute is his extreme athleticism. He has fantastic length and posted eye popping combine numbers running a 4.26 40 yard dash to go along with a 42 inch vertical.
In zone coverage, Woolen comfortably reads the eyes of the quarterback. He can be in a pedal gaining depth to take away the deep route and immediately come off of that to take away the checkdown once the quarterback turns to it. He does a good job of keeping his eyes in on the quarterback throughout the play rather than having them dart from spot to spot.
Woolen’s combination of elite speed and a rapid acceleration make him a fantastic cat blitzer and could accumulate multiple sacks a season in the NFL if utilized properly.Woolen has unreliable eye discipline against play action passes, as he will always take one to two steps down when it is shown rather than playing his assignment regardless of if it is zone or man first.
Woolen has a tendency to overplay the route early in it. If the receiver takes one to two steps up the field Woolen will completely flip his hips allowing the receiver a clean and easy stem into the middle of the field. This is something that results in multiple yards of separation at the catch point.
