Seahawks sign George Farmer and convert him to DB

[perrykemp]

Seahawks signed George Farmer, the WR the Cowboys cut last week, and intend to turn in him into a DB. At 6-1, 215 lb. he has intriguing size. Obviously a total project, however, it's interesting the Seahawks saw Farmer and thought to themselves "defensive back!".

Worked out for Sherman so who knows.

When do we get the rue posts that our coaches didn't think of that.

Sam Shields ran a 4.26 coming out of Miami so while yes he was a WR in college he did have rare athleticism.

I don't enough about Farmer to know if he has any special athletic attributes.

I believe he was a track star at Gardena Serra high school as well as football.

Ok so he will sit on the PS either to be replaced by a real DB or released. Remember when everyone cried about AOA, cry about Wilcox now, Dantzler, etc. You can only have so many position switch PS guys.

Farmer is a special athlete, 4.35 40 at his pro day at USC. He has great size for a safety and would be monster sized at corner. If anyone can successfully convert him it would be Pete Carroll.

can't catch... makes sense...lol

 

[Setackin]

Aren't all CBs WRs that can't catch lol

That's a considerably bold move by the Seahags to convert Farmer to DB. He does have good speed to work with, though, so maybe it'll bear fruit down the line. I imagine he'd be a PS addition if they decide to keep him. It may prove to be a tough and fairly lengthy conversion, assuming he's fortunate enough to develop as they hope.

If they have the flexibility to keep him on the practice squad for 1+ years to even make this a legitimate posibility, then more power to that team and to Farmer.

Just think if we made Dez a DB. Then we'd be even more awesomer and more innovative than Seattle. Dez could play both ways. Now that's sheer genius! Screw you Seahawks!
