The Seahawks enter the 2020 season as a potential Super Bowl team. The five players who are key to this are the ones on this list.
Teams that win a Super Bowl need a bit of everything, such as talent, some luck and a lot of health. By the end of the 2019 season, the Seahawks, who had started the season 10-2 but would finish 11-5, had lost tight end Will Dissly, center Justin Britt and any running back worth their salt. Seattle was a diminished football team.
The Seahawks 2020 roster has a lot of talent and Seattle has a good head coach in Pete Carroll. There isn’t a real reason if the team stays healthier that they cannot get back to the playoffs and possibly make a deeper run in the postseason.
But the Seahawks play in the tough NFC West and any bad breaks with injuries or a bad play or two in an inter-division game can cost Seattle a chance to get to the playoffs. 2020 is going to be a bit of an odd season anyway due to COVID-19 and a lack of fans in the stands, but with a few good breaks, 2020 could be a great year for the Seahawks.
With Seattle’s talent, with some luck and a lot of health, 12s could be celebrating a championship at the end of the season. So which players might put the Seahawks in a position to win most of their games and possibly a Super Bowl? Likely the following five.
