Seahawks DE Leonard Williams Makes NFL Top 100 List

Every summer the NFL releases the NFL Top 100 Players list, and we are just getting started. On the first release, we already got one Seattle Seahawks player... Leonard Williams. Williams was given No. 99 on the list of the NFL's top 100 players. 

This was the third time in his NFL career that he made the NFL Top 100, but the previous two times he was on the New York Giants. In 2021, he was ranked at No. 84, and in 2022 he was ranked No. 97. The next two seasons Williams did not make the list. 

Leonard Williams arguably had the best season of his career in 2024, and in my humble opinion, No. 99 is pretty low for someone who was on the best players on the defensive line in the entire NFL. 

Many believed he was one of the worst Pro-Bowl snubs in the NFL last year as well.

Williams' started all 16 games he played and recorded 64 total tackles, defended three passes, snagged an interception for a 92-yard touchdown, and earned 11 sacks.

 Williams' 11 sacks were 0.5 a sack a way from tying a career best, and were the most by any Seahawk defender since Frank Clark logged 13 during the 2018 campaign.

There is definitely a way he could've been a lot higher on this list, but we are just glad that he was able to make it into the Top 100 like he deserved.
