Seattle Seahawks Top Breakout Candidates

3: Kevin Pierre-Louis, OLB

Malcom Smith is gone to Oakland, and Bruce Irvin is entering a contract year.  Pierre-Louis finished the season on the injured list, but before that the 2014 4th round pick flashed elite quickness and athletic ability, and a propensity to be around the ball.

The Seahawks were ecstatic to get him in the draft, and if he can stay healthy we may all see why very soon.

BEST-CASE SCENARIO: Pushes Irvin for playing time this year, and develops into the unquestioned starter beyond that, allowing the team to part ways with Irvin when his deal is up and save cap space.
