The Seahawks secondary is totally revamped and completely recharged. With the additions of Josh Wilson, the Hawks top draft pick, and Jim Mora, the new secondary coach, the workouts on the first day of minicamp were electric. Wilson says learning the defense and trying to play it at the same time is hard, but he was all smiles today as Mora high fived him and praised him while he improved from rep to rep. And he did actually get better as the day went on. After the rookie was burned deep on a lofty toss from Seneca Wallace, the very next play his timing and read was perfect. Jim Mora screamed and ran at the rookie to shake him and give him a 'good ole' buddy' hug. To say the least...he was a bit excited about his "young buck" (which is what his new teammates are calling him).
While the former Maryland standout is only 5'9 (and a half!), he has a 36 inch vertical and clocked a 4.39 forty yard time at the combine. Seriously...lightning fast. So look for this guy to crack into the Hawks lineup in the nickel package and/or as a kick returner. And he could do it quick...the words most used to describe Wilson today was "smart and competitive." Not bad qualities to have goin' for ya!
