The Seattle Seahawks have solidified two starting cornerback positions, with Devon Witherspoon expected to operate in the slot and Tariq Woolen stationed on the outside, leaving the competition for the remaining outside spot wide open. In the later rounds of the draft, the Seahawks turned their attention to bolstering their cornerback depth, selecting two prospects from Auburn.
Former Miami Dolphins linebacker Mike Kolen, who played a significant role in the team’s legendary undefeated season in 1972, passed away at the age of 76, as confirmed by Auburn University and the Alabama Sports Hall of Fame. Kolen, a standout at Auburn University, joined the Dolphins in 1970 and quickly became a key player, starting every game at right linebacker during his rookie season. He played a pivotal role in Miami’s historic run, which included a perfect 14-0 regular season and a victory in Super Bowl VII over the Washington Redskins. Despite being drafted in the 12th round, Kolen’s impact on the field was undeniable, earning him recognition as a key member of the renowned “No Name Defense” that anchored the Dolphins’ championship teams.
