The Seattle Seahawks are 8-3, and a game out of first place. The team has missed the playoffs for the last couple of seasons, though they were the only one to win 10 games last season and not make the postseason. So far in 2025, things are trending in the right direction.
That not only holds true of the Seahawks overall, but specific players as well. Perhaps no player, not even Jaxon Smith-Njigba, has made a bigger improvement from last season to this one than defensive tackle Byron Murphy II. JSN was good in 2024, too, but Murphy was still finding his way.
