Seattle Seahawks 2022 End of Season Awards
Biggest Surprise – Geno Smith
I’m the guy who said Smith was good enough to lose. It’s shocking to think this once-forgotten quarterback threw 30 touchdown passes this year.
Biggest Surprise not named Geno Smith – Tie Jason Myers and Cody Barton
Coming off of last year’s disappointing season, kicker Jason Myers was on thin ice. He turned it around and was money this year, connecting on 34 of 37 field goal attempts, including 6 for 6 from 50+ yards.
In his first year as an NFL starter, Cody Barton proved many people wrong. It was impossible for him to fill Bobby Wagner‘s shoes; after all, B-Wagz is an all-time great. Barton didn’t try to be Wagner, Barton played within himself.
On the field, he wasn’t spectacular but was solid. Additionally, he was much better in pass coverage than expected.
Biggest Disappointment – Dee Eskridge
Many people will say it’s Jamal Adams. The Seattle Seahawks paid a steep price to acquire and then re-sign the All-Pro safety.
Adams tore his quad in the opener while taking down Russell Wilson, causing “The Prez” to miss the entire season. This is football; injuries happen.
From a performance standpoint, it was Dee Eskridge. This should have been the year he stepped up to be the Seattle Seahawks third wide receiver. But the 2021 second round pick from Western Michigan hasn’t come along as expected.
In 10 games, Eskridge caught 7 passes for 58 yards. Compare that to re-tread signing Laquon Treadwell, who had 6 receptions for 42 yards in 6 games.
