7 Seahawks players who could have bigger roles in 2024

That youth movement should accelerate under the next head coach, whoever that may be. 

The Seattle Seahawks have one of the most-promising rosters around the NFL. Nearly half of the team’s players this season were either in their first or second year in the league and that youth movement should accelerate under the next head coach, whoever that may be. Thanks to two strong draft classes in a row, the kids look particularly alright – and should only continue to get better going forward.

Let’s take a look at seven different players who may see bigger roles in 2024.

8 grades for Seattle Seahawks rookies from the 2023 NFL season

Here’s how we graded out eight Seahawks rookies who saw significant playing time this season.

You can make a case for the Chargers, but the Seahawks are the hottest destination among the teams that had an NFL head coach opening in this hiring cycle. While they dont have a young top-five QB like Justin Herbert they do have a high-value veteran in Geno Smith and a roster that is loaded with young playmakers on both sides of the ball.

The team’s 2023 rookie class is more proof of that, as Seattle landed a superstar at cornerback, a potential Pro Bowler at wide receiver and a couple other strong depth pieces, as well. Here’s how we graded out eight Seahawks rookies who saw significant playing time this season.

Tight end Luke Deal announces return to Auburn football

Deal says that “unfinished business” is the reason that he is coming back to Auburn for a sixth season.

One of Auburn’s most experienced offensive players has announced that he will return to the program for the 2024 season.

[autotag]Luke Deal[/autotag], a former three-star tight end from the 2019 recruiting cycle, revealed Thursday that he will return to Auburn next season for his sixth season of eligibility.

Deal spoke with Jason Caldwell of Auburn Undercover shortly after announcing his decision. He tells Caldwell that he is strong enough to play for another season and is excited to see the progress that the team is expected to make. He also wants to take care of some “unfinished business” before he departs from the program.

“There’s a couple of games, the Georgia game and Alabama game, but especially the Bama game. That will stick in my mind for 364 days,” Deal said in an interview with Auburn Undercover. “That’s something I can’t quite let go yet. My wife and I are here and we love it here. I’m blessed with another year of eligibility. I’m ready to lead this team next year. We’re going to have some serious dudes and we’re going to win some serious ballgames next year.”

His return makes him one of Auburn’s most experienced players. Since arriving in 2019, he has been involved in 1,302 snaps according to Pro Football Focus. He has also participated in 52 games with 16 starts over the last five seasons.

He was a part of Auburn’s 2019 class that was ranked No. 13 according to 247Sports. [autotag]Zion Puckett[/autotag], [autotag]Ja’varrius Johnson[/autotag], [autotag]Jaylin Simpson[/autotag], [autotag]Colby Wooden[/autotag], [autotag]Tyler Fromm[/autotag], and [autotag]Nehemiah Pritchett[/autotag] join Deal as members of the class who are still on Auburn’s roster.

Seahawks injury updates: Pete Carroll on DeeJay Dallas, Derick Hall

Here’s what head coach Pete Carroll told the media about the injuries for running back DeeJay Dallas and outside linebacker Derick Hall.

The Seahawks got brutally beaten by the Ravens yesterday, but at least they came out of it with only a couple of minor injuries to report.

Here’s what head coach Pete Carroll told the media about the injuries for running back DeeJay Dallas and outside linebacker Derick Hall.

RB DeeJay Dallas

Seattle’s third-string running back and kick returner DeeJay Dallas left the game in the second quarter and went right to the locker room. He was listed as questionable to return with a shoulder injury and never made it back on the field. After the game, Carroll said he wasn’t sure about the severity of Dallas’ shoulder injury.

OLB Derick Hall

Rookie edge Derick Hall also suffered a shoulder injury. According to Carroll it’s the same shoulder he’s hurt before but not an aggravation.

Carroll also told reporters he’s not sure about the severity of Hall’s shoulder as of yet, either.

We may learn more later today when Carroll does his ESPN radio hit. If not, we’ll have to wait until the injury report comes out on Wednesday.

Update:

Carroll told ESPN he has no new news on either Hall or Dallas. He did reveal that linebacker Drake Thomas suffered a twisted knee.
