Seahawks' Nehemiah Pritchett: Comes up with interception Wednesday
Rotowire
Pritchett recorded six tackles (five solo) and two passes defensed, including an interception, during Wednesday's 13-10 win versus the Patriots.
With Seattle down seven early in the fourth quarter, Pritchett swung the momentum hard by tipping up a deep pass intended for Romeo Doubs to himself and returning the pick for 30 yards. The play set up a Seahawks touchdown to tie the game at 10-10. Pritchett played 53 of Seattle's 71 defensive snaps in Week 1, and he may have earned himself more consideration for playing time moving forward.

Seahawks' Nehemiah Pritchett: Seattle selects in fifth round
Rotowire
The Seahawks selected Pritchett in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 136th overall.
Pete Carroll is no longer the coach in Seattle, but the Seahawks are still drafting Carroll-style corners. Pritchett (6-feet, 190 pounds) has a good Cover-3 profile as a boundary corner thanks to his height, speed (4.36-second 40) and reach (31 and 5/8-inch arms), and he looks like a potential steal for Seattle this late. Pritchett was a four-year starter (as a five-year player) at Auburn and was a leading contributor on respectable pass defenses each of those four years.
