Zero Seahawks on *This* Offseason Standout List, and Our 12s Should Be Asking Questions

Alright 12s, let's talk about something that's got me scratching my head and maybe even a little worried. You know I'm always scouring every piece of news, every rumor, looking for anything about our Hawks. So when this list dropped, detailing the ten players who really popped in their recent offseason program sessions, I dug in. And guess what? Not a single one of our guys made the cut. We just wrapped up a nine-week program ourselves, and while these kinds of early sessions don't tell the whole story, it's a gut punch not to see any Emerald City names on a "most improved" list. Makes you wonder, doesn't it?

Another Team's QB Feeling Good

Over in Miami, one name making waves was quarterback Quinn Ewers. He apparently looked impressive enough that folks are feeling really good about him as a solid backup, especially after stepping up for Tua Tagovailoa in the final three games of the 2025 season. It's not totally unexpected based on what they saw from him back then, but still, a solid backup is a big deal for any team looking to make some noise. It just shows you what other teams are building, getting their depth squared away.

Wide Receiver Threats & Unexpected Gems Elsewhere

It wasn't just QBs making moves. At wide receiver, Malik Washington, who's apparently their most accomplished returning pass catcher, looked every bit the part in these early sessions. He was consistent, getting open and making plays, and is clearly set to be a key contributor for their offense in 2026. Then there's rookie Kevin Coleman Jr., who reportedly stood out among their three rookie draft picks at wide receiver, even before Caleb Douglas got sidelined by an undisclosed injury. This kid actually might have been the second-most impressive wide receiver they saw, behind Washington. And you know how every team needs those unexpected gems? Tight end Ben Sims, who apparently saw his chances to make the roster take a hit when they drafted Will Kacmarek and Seydou Traore, actually ended up being the most impressive tight end at their camp. He's earned a serious long look for their roster. Then there's D.J. Herman, moved from linebacker to fullback, showing some impressive receiving skills, adjusting to off-target passes. These are the kinds of surprise stories, seeing guys really earn their spot, that can make or break a season for other squads. So while other teams are seeing guys make names for themselves in their offseason programs, it just reminds you how every single practice, every single rep, matters when it comes to the real grind of the season. For our Seahawks, Coach Macdonald and OC Brian Fleury are getting things dialed in. We're in early April now, the real tests are here. The M's are already battling hard at T-Mobile Park, with Cal Raleigh and Julio Rodriguez leading the charge. Our Kraken, with captain Jordan Eberle and Matty Beniers, are fighting tooth and nail on the ice. And the Sounders, with Cristian Roldan recently called up to the USMNT, are showing what the Emerald City is all about on the pitch. We're not waiting for offseason headlines, 12s, we're living the action *right now*. Let's go, Seattle, we've got a whole lot of season ahead!
