Seattle Seahawks 2022 End of Season Awards
Offensive Lineman of the Year – Damien Lewis
It’s tough to pick someone because none of the linemen particularly stood out. I really want to give it to one of the Seattle Seahawks rookie tackles, Charles Cross or Abe Lucas. It will be one of them in 2023.
This year, however, guard Damien Lewis was the most consistent overall blocker. Pro Football Focus gave him an overall grade of 71.8 (72.6 pass, 66.7 run), which was 13th best among NFL guards.
Most improved – Tie Cody Barton and Joey Blount
From last year to this year, it was Barton. He went from backup to 136 tackles, and 6 passes defended.
As the 2022 season progressed, safety Joey Blount blossomed when the team needed him to step up. He justified Pete Carroll’s faith in him.
Unsung Hero – Nick Bellore
Nick Bellore is a special teams ace, fullback, and fills in at linebacker. How valuable is he? Bellore led the Seahawks with 14 special teams tackles (seventh in the NFL). He also had an 81.5 pass blocker rating, according to PFF.
Let’s also give some kudos to Colby Parkinson. The Seattle Seahawks third tight end caught 25 passes for 322 yards and a pair of touchdowns.
