Josh Jobe: facts drawn from the play-by-play.
From undrafted Alabama corner to a 13-PD breakout in his first year as a true starter (2025).

Jobe went undrafted out of Alabama in 2022 and spent his first two seasons in Philadelphia as a special teamer and depth corner — just 1 solo tackle as a rookie, then 20 in 10 games as a 2023 contributor.
Seattle signed him in 2024 and gradually expanded his role. 2025 is the breakout: 18 games, 48 solo tackles, 13 pass defenses, 0.5 sacks, 1 forced fumble — a full-season CB1 line in his first year as a true starter.

13 PDs in 2025 — top-10 CB volume in his first season as a full-time starter.
MilestoneThe 13 pass defenses in 2025 is elite — most starting CBs sit in the 8-12 range, and 13+ usually puts a player in the All-Pro conversation. Jobe got there in his first season as a starter, having entered the year with just 11 career PDs.
He's now thrown together a 97-solo-tackle, 24-PD career in 40 games — and most of that came in 2025 alone (48 solo, 13 PDs in 18 games).
Career role flip — 2 games as a rookie, 18 starts in 2025.

Jobe's career arc reads like a textbook UDFA progression: deep depth chart year 1 → spot starter year 2 → role player year 3 → CB1 year 4.
The Seattle move was the pivot point — Mike Macdonald's defense gave him an opportunity that the Eagles never did, and he's run with it.
Two Alabama UDFA corners (Jobe + Surtain II's class) — only one made it. He's the one.
RareJobe was Alabama's other starting corner during the 2020 (Surtain II) and 2021 (Brian Branch's freshman year) runs. He played in 3 national championship games in Tuscaloosa but slid out of the 2022 draft.
The gap closed late: 4 years later, Jobe is producing CB1 numbers in Seattle, finally living up to the draft profile that scouts saw as 4th-round talent who fell.
24 career PDs in 40 games — better PD-per-game than several first-round 2022 corners.
ComparisonThe 2022 CB class included Sauce Gardner (4th overall) and Derek Stingley Jr. (3rd overall). Both have been productive but inconsistent (Stingley injured, Gardner targeted heavily).
Jobe's 0.60 PDs per game career-wide compares respectably — and his 2025 rate of 0.72 PDs per game in 18 games matches the high end of that class. From UDFA to running with the first-round pace is the kind of arc that gets a player a second contract.
