Undrafted Hero Takes Over

Ty Okada, the undrafted safety who quietly became a Seahawks cornerstone, is locking down his starting role for good. After stepping up last season when injuries hit the roster, he delivered 65 tackles, 3 for loss, and an interception — proving his worth despite his size and lack of draft pedigree. With Coby Bryant gone and a new safety drafted, Okada’s familiarity with the system and proven reliability make him the likely starter at strong safety. His biggest challenge? Holding his own in deep coverage against elite targets. Signed to a modest one-year deal, his next test is consistency and leadership — and if he nails it, this could be the start of a long-term contract.
