The Seahawks never got a chance to draft Sauce Gardner, who went to the Jets at No. 4 overall in the draft. However, they got his partner in crime from the Cincinnati defense. After college quarterbacks eventually learned to stop throwing in Gardner’s direction (sound familiar?) they went after the guy on the other side – Coby Bryant – who was just selected by Seattle in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL draft at No. 109 overall.
Here’s a look at his athletic testing numbers which show a slightly-above average overall score, aided mostly by his size/strength. Bryant’s agility is a yellow flag, though.
Coby Bryant was drafted with pick 109 of round 4 in the 2022 draft class. He scored a 5.61 RAS out of a possible 10.00. This ranked 880 out of 2001 CB from 1987 to 2022. https://t.co/JLhAxxXY65 #RAS #Seahawks pic.twitter.com/PicZN0Ui0W

Then again, we know RAS isn’t everything. If you can play your position well you can make a solid career in the NFL, as has been the case for Seattle free safety Quandre Diggs and free agent Tyrann Mathieu, DBs who both scored significantly lower in this metric than Bryant.
