## Resource

Today on Seahawks Forever: Top 20 Most Important Seahawks — Episode 2 Two young players. Two different career arcs. One huge opportunity. The Seahawks Forever countdown of the Top 20 Most Important Seahawks continues with Episode 2 — and today’s pair brings two very different kinds of intrigue. One is a young defender who may only be scratching the surface of what he can become in Mike Macdonald’s defense. The tools are there, the role is growing, and the upside could be massive if Seattle’s developmental plan hits. The other is one of the more polarizing young Seahawks on the roster — a player fans have been waiting on for three years, and someone who may finally be showing the kind of improvement that changes the conversation around him. Plus, I’ll continue working through why “most important” doesn’t always mean “best player,” why projection matters, and how these players could help shape the Seahawks’ 2026 season.
