Seahawks Draft Bud Clark: A New Ball Hawk in the Secondary

The Seattle Seahawks have added another elite athlete to their secondary, selecting safety Bud Clark from TCU in the second round of the 2026 NFL Draft. Clarks impressive combine performance, including a 9.45 relative athletic score, 4.41 40-yard dash, 38-inch vertical, and 10-foot-7 broad jump, showcases his exceptional athleticism.

With 15 interceptions and 21 pass breakups over his last four college seasons, Clark has proven himself as a ball hawk. He also contributed with 86 tackles, 3.5 tackles for loss, and even a sack or blocked PAT. His aggressive playing style and natural instincts have drawn comparisons to Earl Thomas and LJarius Sneed.

Clarks performance at the Senior Bowl further solidified his potential, as he excelled in man coverage and showcased his ability to bat passes away. He will now compete with Ty Okada for Coby Bryants old spot, bringing versatility to play safety or corner.

Under coach Mike Macdonalds guidance, Clark is expected to become a valuable chess piece for the Seahawks defense, keeping it versatile and nasty for years to come.
