Seahawks Tap Confident DB Duo in Bud Clark and Julian Neal
Seattle drafted two confident defensive backs—Bud Clark and Julian Neal—on Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft, hoping their ball skills, length and swagger boost Seattle's secondary. Clark, a TCU safety, calls himself a ballhawk inspired by Kam Chancellor, while Neal, an Arkansas safety, bills himself as the most physical defender in the class. Coaches stressed they fit Seattle's competitive culture and will earn snaps on a roster that already features top playmakers as they acclimate.
