The Seattle Seahawks are on the hunt for cornerback depth, and they might have found their gem in the United Football League (UFL). The team is reportedly bringing in Deantre Prince, a former Louisville Kings cornerback, according to NFL reporter Aaron Wilson. This move comes as no surprise, given the Seahawks' history of finding late-round and undrafted gems at the cornerback position, with the recent success of Riq Woolen. But what makes Prince stand out? Well, for one, he's a former fifth-round pick by the Jacksonville Jaguars, who saw him play in 10 games, making eight tackles and defending one pass. But it's his time in the UFL that truly caught the eye of the Seahawks. Prince played six games for the Kings, who won the UFL's championship, the United Bowl, in June. He totaled 11 tackles, five pass breakups, and one interception, showcasing his defensive prowess. However, what's even more intriguing is his athletic ability. Prince ran a 4.38-second 40-yard dash time at the combine, highlighting his speed and agility. This, coupled with his 36 tackles and one interception from his senior season at Ole Miss, makes him a highly attractive prospect. But the Seahawks aren't the only team interested. Prince also worked out with the Cleveland Browns in June, indicating a high level of interest from multiple NFL teams. If he makes the Seahawks' roster, he'll join fellow SEC graduate and fifth-round pick Nehemiah Pritchett, adding another layer of talent to the team's cornerback group. This move by the Seahawks is a strategic one, as they aim to bolster their Super Bowl-winning roster with a player who has already proven his worth in the UFL. It remains to be seen if Prince will live up to the hype, but one thing is certain: the Seahawks are taking a calculated risk that could pay off big time.
