The Seattle Seahawks are entering a season of new beginnings. A new head coach in Mike Macdonald is hoping to return the Seahawks to playoff glory. Here are the top 25 most crucial Seattle Seahawks this season.

25. Riq Woolen

This is an important year for Riq Woolen's future. After a stellar rookie season he had his ups and downs last year. This is his opportunity to impress the new coaching staff.

24. Sam Howell (QB)

Sam Howell was brought in to learn under Geno Smith. Howell who started for the Washington Commanders last season had many ups and downs but his raw talent his hard to ignore. 

23. Jerome Baker (LB)

Jerome Baker has talent but a wrist surgery led him to earning a one year deal with the Seahawks. His performance this year will show if he's part of the future of the team.

22. Tre Brown (CB)

This is a big year for Tre Brown. And in essence this is a make or break year for the fourth year CB. 

21. Zach Charbonnet (RB)

Zach Charbonnet pencils in as our second running back and a change of pace for Kenneth Walker III. He showed flashes of brilliance last season and most teams will play two running backs in the NFL now so expect him to be involved heavily.

20. Tyler Lockett (WR)

Lockett is on the wrong side of his prime days. But that doesn't matter, he brings in a veteran presence at the WR position and will be involved. 

19. Laken Tomlinson (OL)

Tomlinson will provide offensive line depth for the Seahawks. The former pro-bowler could play a key role in the offense and if he has a good season expect him to be back on another deal.

18. Abraham Lucas (OL)

Lucas's health is a huge question mark and has been sidelined all training camp. Unfortunately, he begins the season the PUP list and we'll have to wait until week 5 to see if he makes a impact.

17. Derrick Hall (LB)

Derrick Hall shined with an all-time great play that heads turning during the Seahawks pre-season game versus the Titans. The second round pick is full of talent and could make a big impact this season.

16.Charles Cross (OL)

Left Tackle is arguably the second most important position after Quarterback. This is a big year to find out just how good Charles Cross can be.

15.Julian Love (S)

The Seahawks signed Love to a 3-year extension worth $36M. And this proves just how important he is to the Seattle Seahawks.

14. Leonard Williams (DL)

Fans were very excited to have Leonard Williams once he came from the New York Giants last season. We'll see just how much he can shine under Mike Macdonald.

13. Kenneth Walker III (RB)

This could be a huge season for Kenneth Walker III. Many fans expect him to fill the stat sheet in a huge way this season. We are primed for Walker's most impressive season yet.

12. Connor Williams (C)

Williams was a last minute addition to the Seahawks. But his resume speaks for itself. The center could make a huge impact for the Seahawks this season.

11. Rayshawn Jenkins (S)

Rayshawn Jenkins joins the Seattle Seahawks and fans are excited. Why? Well, he's a versatile safety which Mike Macdonald loves. He could be one of the new head coaches favorite toys.

10. Uchenna Nwosu (LB)

Nwosu was dealt an injury blow in the teams last pre-season game. But the good news is he's not out for the season. His impact on the defense is crucial.

9. Dre'Mont Jones (LB)

We mentioned that versatility is key when it comes to a Mike Macdonald defense. And according to the coach himself he plans to unlock Jones and his versatility this season.

8. Boye Mafe (LB)

LBs are key in Mike Macdonald's scheme. And if Boye Mafe can step up in a big way many are predicting him to earn his first Pro Bowl nod this season.

7. Devon Witherspoon (CB)

Devon Witherspoon is one of the most electric young secondary players in football. This year will show if he can step up and become an All-Pro for the Seahawks.

6. DK Metcalf (WR)

DK Metcalf has been a model of consistency. He's one of the most feared WRs in the NFL and his consistency is a pillar for the Seahawks.

5. Jaxon Smith-Njigba (WR)


Seattle On Tap Edit/ Seahawks X

When the Seahawks drafted JSN out of Ohio State last year he dazzled in training camp. He had a good but not great rookie year and if he can have a great season this year the Seahawks could unlock their offense.

4. Geno Smith (QB)


Seattle On Tap Edit/ Seahawks X

I mean the quarterback position is the most crucial in all of pro sports. Geno Smith had a decent but not amazing season last year and, if he can reach his 2022 levels the Seahawks offense can become elite.

3. Ryan Grubb (OC)

Michael Penix Jr. almost won the Heisman trophy with Grubb. Well now welcome to the NFL, can he turn Geno Smith to a top 10 QB?

2. Byron Murphy II (DL)

Byron Murphy II should probably have gone higher in the NFL draft. But a run on offense had him slip to the Seahawks. He is going to be high impact and fun to watch.

1. Mike Macdonald (HC)

Mike MacDonald brings his Baltimore defensive scheme to Seattle. If MacDonald can turn the Seahawks to a top 10 defense by the end of the year the Seahawks should be fighting for a playoff spot.
