Is Boye Mafe Ready to Take Flight For Seattle? - Locked On Seahawks Podcast

Receiving first-team reps with Darrell Taylor sidelined, Boye Mafe may have the door open to a starting spot on the Seattle Seahawks' defensive front with a critical mock game looming on Friday.

Off to an excellent start in his second training camp and now set for increased reps with the first-team defense thanks to Darrell Taylor's injury, Boye Mafe has been an early candidate for most improved player on the Seattle Seahawks roster.

Hosts Corbin Smith and Dallas Cooper discuss Mafe's ascent, including comments made by Pete Carroll about his massive improvement compared to his rookie season, and how Taylor's injury could create a major opportunity for him in coming days to stake a claim to a starting job.

Smith and Cooper also detail observations from Thursday's seventh practice at the VMAC, including Devon Witherspoon and Jaxon Smith-Njigba continuing to be must-see TV battling against each other, and play "Stock Watch" heading into Friday's mock scrimmage game.
