SPECIAL TEAMS (3):

  • Kicker – Steven Hauschka
  • Punter – Jon Ryan
  • Long Snapper – Nolan Frese

Seattle boasts one of the most reliable kicking duos in the league. The long snapping job is Frese’s to lose, although the team could grab another veteran if he becomes available.

SUMMARY:

Much was made of the group of undrafted free agents the Seahawks reeled in after a very strong draft class, but through the first couple weeks of camp none have been able to generate enough buzz to think they can unseat the veterans in front of them. The fact of the matter is this is a very talented roster, and jobs are tough to come by.

This list is light on surprises, but loaded with extremely young, high-ceiling players mixed in with a strong core of super stars in their prime.
