2023 NFL draft: All 59 defensive backs invited to the Scouting Combine

The Seahawks have drafted and cultivated defensive backs about as well as any NFL team since Pete Carroll was hired as head coach back in 2010. In last year’s draft they landed a superstar cornerback in the fifth round – the second time they’ve done so in the Carroll era. This year their need for DBs is not urgent, but we still expect them to add one or two in the draft.

Here are all of the defensive backs who have been invited to this year’s Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.
