2. Tharold Simon

The lasting memory of Tharold Simon for many Seahawks fans is either him being roasted in the Super Bowl, or his inability to stay healthy. It isn’t surprising that he simply isn’t on the radar for most people in terms of guys that could play a key role this season.

Simon has looked great thus far in camp. He’s been quick, aggressive, and incredibly sticky in coverage. I’ve seen him constantly beat receivers to the ball, and has quite a few picks and pass breakups thus far in training camp

For the first time as a professional, Simon is fully healthy. I cannot wait to see him out there on Saturday trying to prove deserves a shot to get snaps in the regular season.
