Seahawks DL Leonard Williams comments on Pro Bowl snub

Seahawks DL Leonard Williams comments on Pro Bowl snub

Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Leonard Williams leads all interior defenders in the NFL in sacks with nine quarterback takedowns. In Sunday’s Week 18 regular-season finale versus the Los Angeles Rams, he’ll attempt to become the first Seahawk to reach double digits in sacks since 2018. Despite that, Williams was not voted as a primary participant in the 2025 Pro Bowl Games, with the full rosters being released earlier this week.

Devon Witherspoon was the lone Seahawk voted to the main Pro Bowl roster. Elsewhere, Julian Love and Coby Bryant finished in the top 10 of voting among their position group. As for Williams, he finished behind Jalen Carter, Dexter Lawrence, and Vita Vea, who are scheduled to represent the NFC at defensive tackle.

Williams commented on the snub.

“I mean honestly, I don’t care at this point,” Williams told local reporters. “It’s possible [I’ll go as an alternate] because the Eagles are going to the playoffs and Dexter [Lawrence] is hurt. But to be honest, it’s frustrating to be an alternate,” Williams concluded.

Williams was dominant for Macdonald’s defense throughout this campaign. Perhaps Seattle’s failure to qualify for the postseason hindered his chances of gaining national recognition. Williams will likely be at the Pro Bowl, and he’ll deserve to be there once he’s officially named.

3 Seahawks finish in Top 10 Pro Bowl voting among their positions

3 Seahawks finish in Top 10 Pro Bowl voting among their positions

The Seattle Seahawks have three players among the top 10 at their position in Pro Bowl voting by the fans. Voting for the 2025 Pro Bowl officially concluded on December 23. Mike Macdonald’s squad will conclude their campaign against the Los Angeles Rams in Sunday’s Week 18 finale.

The following Seahawks fared favorably in Pro Bowl voting:

Leonard Williams | 4th overall, 2nd in NFC

Defensive tackle Leonard Williams has been downright dominant this season. The veteran linemen has posted a team-leading 9.0 sacks and is one quarterback takedown away from breaking a five-year Seahawks drought of having a double-digit sack artist. Williams deserves his Pro Bowl nod.

Julian Love | 9th overall, 6th in NFC

Julian Love continued being a workhorse for the Seahawks defense this season. He’s posted a team-leading 103 tackles through Week 17, securing his third consecutive campaign with 100-plus tackles. Love finished sixth among safety voting in the NFC. The versatile defensive back deserves all of the accolades he receives.

Coby Bryant | 10th overall, 7th in NFC

Injuries catapulted Coby Bryant into a starting lineup role in Week 7. The former Cincinnati standout had been relegated to a deep rotational role before that. When Bryant’s opportunity arrived, he seized it with maximum effort. The corner-turned-safety recorded three interceptions, including a pick-six touchdown, and six total pass breakups.

3 Seahawks in Top 10 positional 2025 Pro Bowl Games voting

3 Seahawks in Top 10 positional 2025 Pro Bowl Games voting

The 2025 NFL Pro Bowl Games will take place in Orlando early February. The 8-6 Seattle Seahawks currently have three players within the top 10 of positional voting. The following Seahawks are receiving fan recognition to potentially participate in this year’s annual all-star event.

Julian Love (fifth overall, third in NFC)

Versatile safety Julian Love has been his usual consistent self for Mike Macdonald’s defense this season. The former Notre Dame standout has recorded a team-high 96 tackles, eight pass breakups, and two interceptions this year. Love is versatile, playing both near the line of scrimmage, and on the back-end. He’s attempting to make his second consecutive Pro Bowl appearance.

Coby Bryant (10th overall, seventh in NFC)

Coby Bryant has emerged as an unlikely difference-maker for Aden Durde’s secondary throughout the 2024 campaign. The ex Cincinnati Bearcat began the season playing one total defensive snap in Seattle’s opening two contests. Injuries and improved play have made him a lineup mainstay since Week 7 forward. Bryant has three interceptions, five PBUs, and a defensive TD this season.

Leonard Williams (fifth overall, third in NFC)

Dominant defensive linemen Leonard Williams certainly deserves to make his second career Pro Bowl appearance. Williams has seven sacks in 13 regular-season appearances. The Seahawks don’t regret acquiring him from the New York Giants in 2023 in exchange for second-and-fifth-round picks.
