5. Tre Brown – CB

Stating us off in this list is Tre Brown, a promising young corner that showed tenacity and toughness in his rookie season of 2021. Along with q willingness to get in there and make a tackle even on run downs.

Brown started the season on Seattle’s injured list. He came back in Week 6 and played strongly through Week 11 before tearing a tendon in his knee cap. Brown played well during this five-game stretch. Opponents completed less than 50 percent of the passes thrown to the targets he covered.

Going forward, he has a good chance to lock down the right-side cornerback spot and become a cornerstone of Seattle’s future defense. 

4. Damien Lewis – G

Fourth on my list is Damien Lewis. Some people thought Lewis had a down year this year. That may be true, but he also switched positions last year from right guard to left guard. Sometimes doing everything backward is a hard transition to make.

Lewis is the best young offensive lineman the Seahawks have, and maybe with a switch back to the right side, he can become a Pro Bowler. The future of the line starts with Lewis, and he isn’t a bad building block at all.

3. Darrell Taylor – Edge

Edge rusher Darrell Taylor is next on the list. He missed his entire first season of 2020 with a leg injury. Then this season, fully healed, he posted 6.5 sacks as part of the rotation at the Seahawks LEO (left end outside) rotation.

Taylor showed a few signs of rust, but he still got pressure on opposing quarterbacks. Even better, the former University of Tennessee star improved greatly during the season. His sack total was good for second on the team. With more reps, those sack totals should rise to 10 or more.
