Ty Okada Makes 'Phenomenal' Interception In Preseason Finale

After getting the pick, Okada made it to his feet and returned the ball 23 yards before being tackled.

"It would have been better if I would have scored," he said. "But yeah, I would say that that was definitely [my] best interception."

On the play coach Mike Macdonald said, "That was a heck of a play. It was awesome. Going from the deep half, guy throws the ball on the middle read. To be able to overlap in that area of the field and make one. It's just a great play all around. Great team defense on that play with the rush, coverage complimenting each other, but ultimately that was a phenomenal play."

Okada has been a practice squad guy for Seattle in 2023 and 2024, appearing in four regular season games in 2024, mostly on special teams. Through the preseason so far, Okada has made a few tackles in each preseason game, including four today, along with the interception and a pass defensed.

"I'm very happy with it and I'm very confident in my ability and what I was able to show the team and coaches," Okada said on his training camp and preseason. "I'm going to be reliable, dependable. I'm going to be in the right spots, make those plays I'm supposed to make. It's been just an awesome journey getting to build great relationships with amazing guys in the locker room. I'm just really thankful for this experience and we'll see where the chips fall."
