Nobody knows what will happen, but we’d be surprised if the Seahawks don’t pick a cornerback at some point in the 2022 NFL draft. The team has a need at this position after allowing D.J. Reed to sign with the Jets and they’re doing their research on this year’s cornerback class.
According to a report by Aaron Wilson, Seattle met with Duke corner Leonard Johnson before his pro day.
Duke corner Leonard Johnson met with Seahawks and Jets prior to Pro Day, per league source. Johnson (6-1, 194) fits the Seahawks' mold for long, athletic corners for their defensive system. Has also played safety and has six career interceptions #NFLDraft #Seahawks #Jets

Johnson (six-foot, 194 pounds) posted six interceptions and 16 pass breakups during his time in college as well as 10.5 tackles for a loss.
Here’s how he measured up at his pro day:
Height: 6-0 3/8
Weight: 194
Hand: 8 4/8
Arm: 31 1/8
Wingspan: 75 4/8
Bench Press: 12
Vertical Jump: 33.0
Broad Jump: 10.5
40-Yard Dash: 4.54
Short Shuttle: 4.27
L Drill: 6.87
Highlights are hard to come by for Johnson, but here’s an old clip.
The Seahawks have also used an official top-30 visit on Cincinnati cornerback Ahmad “Sauce” Gardner, who’s projected to be a top-10 pick.
