Renton, Wash. • When Seattle linebacker Bobby Wagner was younger in his career and still lacking some recognition out of Utah State, it was teammate Richard Sherman that was regularly touting Wagner's talent.
With Sherman out for the season, maybe he'll be able to find time to lead Wagner's campaign as his name is getting mentioned as a potential defensive player of the year candidate.
Now in his sixth season, Wagner might be playing better now than at any point of his career.
