Seattle Seahawks Linebackers Garner NFL Greatest Draft Picks Accolades

The Seattle Seahawks' 2012 NFL draft class is considered one of the greatest in recent history, highlighted by the selection of linebacker Bobby Wagner in the second round and quarterback Russell Wilson in the third round. Wagner, now with the Washington Commanders, is a future Hall of Famer with 11 All-Pro selections and 10 Pro Bowls, playing a key role in the Commanders' 2024 NFC Championship run. Wilson led Seattle to their first Super Bowl victory and made 10 Pro Bowls, later playing for multiple teams but remaining the franchise's greatest player historically. The Seahawks' defense showed improvement in 2024, with linebacker Tyrice Knight emerging as a breakout player, helping the team finish 10-7 after a sluggish start. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers, after an 11-6 season and playoff loss, are focused on competing for championships with linebacker Isaiah McDuffie expected to play a crucial role in their 2025 campaign. These developments highlight the impact of strategic draft picks and player development on NFL team success.
