Where Seahawks secondary ranks in the NFC West following Jamal Adams trade
1. Seattle Seahawks
Don’t call me biased. I didn’t want to put the Seattle Seahawks at number one for that specific reason but looking at their (unofficial) depth chart, their secondary is looking scary good. Especially after trading for safety Jamal Adams, the safety position is looking really stacked in Seattle. If the NFC West secondaries were the same as last year, Seattle would be third on this list.
The 2020 Seahawks projected starters—Shaquill Griffin, Jamal Adams, Quandre Diggs, and Quinton Dunbar—hits on a completely different note compared to the starters last season. The week 1 2019 starters were Griffin, Tedric Thompson, Bradley McDougald, and Tre Flowers—all solid players but not at the level of talent that Seattle has lined up for this season. Seattle now has a sure-fire competing secondary full of tremendous depth at safety and corner.
Fans shouldn’t just be excited about new additions Adams or Dunbar, but should also be excited to see Marquise Blair and Ugo Amadi progress in their second season. So far, Blair has really shown improvement in training camp and has been playing plenty of snaps at nickel.
In 2019, Seattle played at base personnel 68.3% of the time. The next team down used it 38.4% of the time. This was a big issue for the team last season. It seemed like the coaching staff was incompetent to see how necessary changing the personnel up was. They relied too much on the linebackers and didn’t mix in enough nickel and dime packages.
Hopefully, the coaching staff will understand that this is a completely different secondary this year and utilize them in the right way.

This is truly going to be an exciting season for the Seahawks secondary. Fans were sad when the Legion of Boom’s time came to an end, but they should be excited about the rise of the Legion of Doom.
