Flowers overcomes illness, continues to grow for Seahawks - Associated Press

His commitment has helped the former college safety at Oklahoma State transition to cornerback and begin to find consistent success in his second season with the Seahawks.“It’s such a difficult position to play out there and particularly for a guy that doesn’t have it in his history,” coach Pete Carroll said. “He’s really grown into his own. He’s such a beautiful athlete and he’s such a good competitor, and he’s a tough guy.

We all get better by our failures and our mistakes and he’s certainly gotten better every single time he’s gone out.”It’s an ongoing process for Flowers, which is why he tried to keep practicing last week despite an illness that forced receivers Tyler Lockett and David Moore, defensive tackle Poona Ford and backup center Jordan Roos to go home.“It was pretty crazy,” Flowers said. “They tried to send me home, I wasn’t taking that for an answer, I had to put on the doctor mask. Then I looked I was going to die out here. I’m glad all of that is over with, we’re trying to get back to normal.” Flowers’ improvement is an aspect of the defenses’ improvement as the season has progressed. The addition of Quandre Diggs at free safety has settled the back end of the defense. Meanwhile, the pass rush has finally blossomed as well and the result has been 11 turno...
