Seahawks LB Bobby Wagner is Seattle’s Peak Performer in loss to Rams

For his impressive performance in the wild-card round loss to the Rams, Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner is the team’s Peak Performer.

There is a reason Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner was named to the Associated Press’ All-Pro first team this week and is assuredly headed to the Pro Football Hall of Fame when his career is over. He is one of the best defensive players to ever put on a Seahawks uniform.

Despite Seattle playing from behind against Los Angeles in the wild-card contest, Wagner never took his foot off the gas. Wagner finished the day leading the team in tackles with 16 total and one tackle for loss. Wagner also logged one quarterback hit and one sack.

At one point near the end of the matchup, Wagner pulled up limping but was able to play through the pain.

For his impressive efforts Saturday afternoon against the Los Angeles Rams, Wagner is the Seahawks Wire’s Peak Performer of the game.

Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner earns AP first-team All-Pro honors

For the sixth time in his career, Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner has earned Associated Press’ first-team All-Pro honors.

Seattle Seahawks linebacker Bobby Wagner is most certainly on his way to the Hall of Fame following his impressive career. On Friday, Wagner was voted to the Associated Press All-Pro first-team for the sixth time in his career.

Wagner has now been named to the first-team five years in a row and joins only 10 other linebackers in All-Pro history to have earned the honors six times. Those 10 players are all in the Hall of Fame today.

Wagner finished his 2020 NFL regular-season campaign with 138 tackles to lead the team, three sacks, eight passes defensed and 11 quarterback hits.

In addition to Wagner’s nod, Seahawks wide receiver DK Metcalf and safety Jamal Adams have both been named to the second-team All-Pro for their efforts this year.

According to AP’s Tim Booth, Seattle punter Michael Dickson and long snapper Tyler Ott finished third in the voting at their positions, just missing out on All-Pro selections.
