RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks' first-team defense against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 17 included three players who made last month's Pro Bowl on the initial ballot: Devon Witherspoon, Julian Love and Bobby Wagner.
Two others, Quandre Diggs and Riq Woolen, were coming off Pro Bowl seasons from 2022. Two more, Leonard Williams and Dre'Mont Jones, were playing on contracts averaging $21 million and $17.2 million, respectively. Three of the remaining four -- Darrell Taylor, Jarran Reed and Boye Mafe -- were former second-round picks.
