Past Fantasy Outlooks
2015
2014
A cornerback in college, drafted to be a strong safety and now converted to linebacker, Pinkins is an interesting story, but he has his work cut out for him to make the roster. He missed all last season with a knee injury, but he has good size and speed to play as a linebacker. A roster spot likely will come down to numbers. If the Seahawks have to keep an extra player somewhere else, it will cost Pinkins. A big camp will help push the decision in his favor. He's probably headed for the practice squad.
A sixth-round pick, Pinkins is the type of project Pete Carroll loves. A safety at San Diego State, Pinkins fell in the draft because he lacks lateral speed. The Seahawks, though, see his 6-3, 220, size and good straight-ahead speed and think he can convert to cornerback. Alas, an early camp foot injury will put the experiment on hold for a year. Check back in 2015.
