The Seattle Seahawks defense had considerable representation in this year’s edition of ESPN’s annual survey of top 10 players by position, as voted by league coaches, scouts, and executives. This is an upgrade from the 2024 offseason, when the Seahawks’ lone representative was Devon Witherspoon.
Who’s made this year’s list? We start off with the Big Cat himself, Leonard Williams. One ballot actually had him as high as No. 2.

First-year Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald helped catapult Williams, who took full advantage of his matchups to have a banner season.
