Seahawks Move 6'5" Tyrone Broden From Receiver to Cornerback

The team is testing whether the former receiver's rare size-speed mix can translate to cornerback.

Overview

  • The Seahawks, in a Thursday announcement, said Tyrone Broden will switch to cornerback and change his jersey to No. 31.
  • Broden is listed at 6-foot-5 with a reported 4.37-second 40-yard dash, an uncommon build-speed combo for an NFL cornerback.
  • He went undrafted in 2025 after productive years at Bowling Green and a transfer to Arkansas, then spent last season on Seattle's practice squad.
  • Reports cited Bo Melton’s successful move from wideout to cornerback with Green Bay in 2025 as a recent example of this kind of switch.
  • The conversion begins an offseason development push for Broden’s second NFL year, with his roster chances tied to how quickly he learns coverage technique.
