Jeremy Lane is the favorite at right CB. Before camp, Lane’s experience would have made him the favorite over Neiko Thorpe and rookie Shaquill Griffin to win the starting job at right cornerback, where Seattle has a vacancy with DeShawn Shead coming off knee surgery. Lane has solidified the favorite status with a strong start to camp. He’s had some nice pass-breakups, he’s looked fast and he has seemed to consistently be where he’s supposed to be in coverage. That includes staying on top of receivers deep down the field, which is paramount for Seahawks cornerbacks. Lane figures to be Seattle’s slot corner in nickel situations again this season; the question has been whether he’ll also be the starter on the outside opposite Richard Sherman in the team’s base packages. Thorpe and Griffin have looked impressive as well, and it’s only been three days. Plenty can change, especially now that the shoulder pads are on and the intensity is increased, but Lane has taken a step towards claiming that starting job. His play was underwhelming in 2016 after he signed an extension the previous offseason, but coach Pete Carroll has raved on separate occasions about how much better he looks now. “Jeremy Lane had a fantastic offseason,” Carroll said. “He made a big shift in his mentality and his approach. He is so serious. He studied so much. He has applied himself in his conditioning work, his strength work, his focus on the field. He has been fantastic. You ask anyone in the program and they will tell you Jeremy Lane is on fire right now. 710 sports
