The Seattle Seahawks are taking on a major youth movement.

The defensive unit once known as the Legion of Boom is now down to three original cast members (Earl Thomas, Bobby Wagner, and K.J Wright). Russell Wilson’s offensive weaponry features many new faces, including a first-round running back in Rashaad Penny.
