After signing a three-year, $64.5 million contract, Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Leonard Williams more than justified the investment: he was a rare disruptive force, earning a Pro Bowl nod (as a replacement) and solidifying his position as the NFL’s most effective interior defender in 2024.
His season was All-Pro worthy (and far more deserving than a 99th-ranked finish in the NFL Top 100). He also produced one of the most spectacular plays of the season with a 92-yard pick-six return against Aaron Rodgers’ New York Jets, setting a record for a return by a defensive lineman.
