Ahead by two scores, in front of his home crowd, and in a head-to-head against a quarterback playing in his first-ever NFL game, Riq Woolen, on Sept. 8, 2024, stepped into what some would consider a cornerback’s dream scenario. Using his instincts to step into something else, Seattle’s Pro Bowl cornerback read the Broncos’ crossing pattern like a book, undercutting it for an acrobatic, late-game interception. Not far removed from recording an NFL-high in interceptions as a rookie just three years ago, Woolen opened 2024 in style, guiding the Seahawks’ 26-20 win over Denver, and contributing three tackles, one interception, and zero completions allowed on four targets.
