player. 36. People don’t understand how loaded this team is. The Seattle Seahawks have been to the playoffs every year since 2012, won a Super Bowl, and reached another Super Bowl. The scary part is the meat of their roster is still fairly young. Russell Wilson just had his best season with over 4,000 yards and 34 touchdowns passing. He turns 28 in November. Four of their five best defenders are 28 or younger. Only Michael Bennett is over 30. This team isn’t going away anytime soon. <p>What’s even more frightening is who they’re getting back from injury. Jimmy Graham returns to bolster their tight end position while Thomas Rawls appears healthy at running back. Both were playing like Pro Bowlers prior to getting hurt. If they return to form it’s hard figure out how teams will stop the Seahawks offense. To say nothing of their already loaded defense. If that offensive line can play even modestly well, this should be the team to beat.</p>. . . Seattle Seahawks . 1
