If anyone is the key to taking the Seahawks' pass rush to the next level, it's the former first-round pick.
The Seahawks had 45 sacks last season, which tied for seventh-best in the NFL. But strangely, Seattle’s pass rush doesn’t get the same respect as some of the teams it was more productive than, such as Pittsburgh and Philadelphia.
Whatever the reason is for that, the Seahawks no doubt want more consistent production from the players up front that they have invested in.
