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.
