2026 NFL Combine: 6 Potential Seahawks Targets Who Impressed on Day 2 of Workouts

Analysis
Written By Corbin Smith

Ushering in the next stage of the NFL offseason for the Seattle Seahawks and all 32 teams, the annual NFL Scouting Combine kicked into full throttle with cornerbacks and safeties participating in on-field athletic testing and drill work on Friday.

Which players who could be on Seattle’s radar heading into the 2026 NFL Draft improved their stock the most? Here are six prospects who starred on Day 2 at Lucas Oil Stadium:

Chris Johnson, CB, San Diego State

Arguably the best cornerback in college football last season, at least statistically, Johnson locked down Mountain West receivers from start to finish. Earning MWC Defensive Player of the Year honors in his third season as a starter for the Aztecs, he held opposing quarterbacks to a ridiculous 16.1 passer rating and under a 42% completion rate while giving up no touchdowns, intercepting four passes, and producing five pass breakups. But leading up to the combine, questions persisted about level of competition and his overall athleticism, clouding his prognosis as a draft prospect.
