Seattle Seahawks 2022 Top 10 Players Under 25
#3 Charles Cross – Left Tackle
The first name in our Top 3 is none other than the Seattle Seahawks’ number one draft pick this year Charles Cross.
Selected ninth overall from Mississippi State Bulldogs, he stands 6”5”, 307-pounds. Cross was the ninth overall pick and third tackle selected. Some draft experts thought he was the best or second-best offensive tackle prospect in the class.
On the field, he’s certainly looked worthy of a top ten selection. Cross didn’t allow a sack or even a quarterback hit in the preseason. And much like his counterpart Lucas, he should be a part of the Seahawks’ bookend tackles for a decade to come.
He comes from a very pass-heavy scheme under Coach Mike Leach, who ironically also coached Lucas at Washington State, installing the same pass-heavy scheme at MSU. With veteran Duane Brown gone, Cross is the new anchor of Seattle’s offensive line.
#2 Jordyn Brooks – Inside Linebacker
Inside linebacker Jordyn Brooks (the Seahawks switched to 3-4) Jordan Brooks checks in at number. The Seattle Seahawks’ 2020 first round pick needs no real introduction. Last season, Brooks had the difficult task of stepping in for team stalwart and fan favorite KJ Wright.
All he did in response was finish second in the entire NFL with 184 total tackles. That was also a new team record. For an encore, the Seahawks are giving him an even more challenging task. He steps into the shoes of bonafide first ballot Hall of Famer Bobby Wagner.
With all due respect to Jamal Adams, Brooks is now the defensive shot caller and leader. Let’s see how he responds this time. I bet he gets some votes for Defensive Player of the Year.
