Seahawks Training Camp: Year Two of the Mike Macdonald Era
KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON, AUG 2 – Rookie safety Nick Emmanwori recorded three interceptions in four practices, demonstrating versatility and growing confidence in Seattle's defensive schemes under coach Mike Macdonald.
Friday, Seahawks rookie safety Nick Emmanwori intercepted a Jalen Milroe pass in the end zone and spun the ball after his third pick in four padded practices this week.
Amid position battles, Seahawks deploy Emmanwori mainly as a third safety in five- and six-defensive-back sets to rush, line up as a linebacker or cover the slot.
Amid growing momentum, Emmanwori shared his perspective, saying coaches took it 'real slow' to leverage his ability across the field, and Head coach Mike Macdonald called him 'a really fun player to coach'.
Standout plays all camp indicate Emmanwori’s interceptions underscore growing confidence in his role in Macdonald’s defense in his first season.
Preparing for their week one matchup, the team next week will hone in on details as the Seahawks host the Las Vegas Raiders with former coach Pete Carroll returning.
