Seattle Seahawks' Uchenna Nwosu wants bigger role than at Los Angeles Chargers

ACCRA, GHANA -- Seattle Seahawks linebacker Uchenna Nwosu cited the desire to take on a more prominent role in an NFL team as a reason for leaving the Los Angeles Chargers for his new team.

Nwosu spent four seasons with the Chargers, with his last being the most productive. The 25-year-old produced a career-high five sacks in 2021, featuring in 17 games last season.

However, he believes he can play an even bigger role at the Seahawks, who are expected to deploy a 3-4 defensive scheme, similar to the one which finally brought out his best abilities in his last season at the Chargers.
