While tracking down San Francisco for supremacy in the NFC West, there are Seattle Seahawks who are also chasing some big milestones.

2020 represents the 45th season of Seattle Seahawks football. The franchise sure has come a long way from its humble beginnings in 1976. Along the way, there were heroes, All-Pros, and record setters. There are some exciting milestones Seattle Seahawks players can reach. Some of them are personal, most are team-related, and a few have to do with all-time NFL success.

Here is a look at some of the interesting plateaus that can be reached by Seahawks players in 2020.

Josh Gordon

Personal

Josh Gordon needs:

• 3 receptions to reach 250 in his career

Carlos Hyde

Personal

Carlos Hyde needs:

• 635 rushing yards to reach 5,000
• 653 all-purpose yards to reach 6,000
• 5 touchdowns to reach 40

Bruce Irvin

Personal

Bruce Irvin needs:

• 8 sacks to reach 60

Team

Bruce Irvin is in his second stint with the Seahawks. Of his 52 career sacks, 22 happened in a Seattle uniform between 20012-15. This year the team desperately needs his pass-rushing abilities to help the defense. With eight more sacks, Irvin becomes the tenth player in franchise history to hit 30.

Jason Myers

Personal

Jason Myers needs:

• 30 made field goals to reach 150
• 40 touchbacks to reach 300

Team

It seems crazy that Myers can be in the conversation for anything related to the Seattle Seahawks and all-time lists. But another 100-point season likely has him in the top 20 for scoring.

Chris Carson

Personal

Chris Carson needs:

• 411 yards to reach 3,000
• 1 touchdown to reach 20
• 4 rushing touchdowns to reach 20

Team

Carson is ninth on the Seattle Seahawks all-time rushing list. He passes Maurice Morris with 24 more yards and Sherman Smith with 841 additional yards. If he can gain another 1,411 yards on the ground, it will make him the seventh player in team history to reach 4,000. That would be a difficult task but not impossible.
