Just a couple of months ago, it looked likeSeattle Seahawks cornerback Riq Woolen wasn't even going to be on the roster at this point. He was a prime trade candidate, but given his sloppy performances, it wasn't much of a surprise to see that there were no takers.
Woolen, whose rookie contract is about to run out, drew criticism for his erratic tackling and apparent regression from his impressive rookie campaign. He even lost his starting spot after a shaky first start of the season.
That's why it was so refreshing to watch him turn back the clock and dominate against the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Divisional Round.
