Super Bowl LX Preview: Meet the Seattle Seahawks

The Seattle Seahawks are headed to Super Bowl LX, and this roster is built around a clear identity. Seattle finished 14–3, won the NFC West, and powered through the playoffs behind a tough defense and an offense led by one breakout star.

This article takes a closer look at who’s who on the Seahawks roster as they prepare to face the New England Patriots.

A New Team Under Mike Macdonald

Under head coach Mike Macdonald, the Seahawks became more physical and disciplined. Seattle finished the regular season strong with a 38–37 win over the Rams, a 27-10 win over the Panthers and a 13–3 victory at San Francisco. In the playoffs, they crushed the 49ers 41–6 and beat the Rams 31–27 in the NFC Championship.

The Seahawks enter the Super Bowl with a 7-game winning streak. This team plays fast, tough, and confident football.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba Leads the Offense

Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba is the heartbeat of Seattle’s offense. With DK Metcalf traded and Tyler Lockett gone, Smith-Njigba stepped into a starring role and delivered. He became the team’s top target, the main playmaker, and the player defenses must stop first.

Smith-Njigba’s quick routes, strong hands, and ability to find space helped him win Offensive Player of the Year. When Seattle needs a big play, the ball usually finds him.

Kenneth Walker Powers the Ground Game

Running back Kenneth Walker III balances the offense with a strong running attack. With backup Zach Charbonnet out for the season, Walker has carried the load and thrived in Seattle’s run-heavy system. He even scored 3 touchdowns in their playoff game against the 49ers. His speed and toughness help control the clock and open up passing lanes for Smith-Njigba.

Veterans Adjust Around the Stars

Quarterback Sam Darnold manages the offense and has done an incredible job. Veteran receiver Cooper Kupp adds experience, but the offense clearly runs through Smith-Njigba.

A Defense That Sets the Tone

Defensively, cornerback Devon Witherspoon brings energy and physical play, while Leonard Williams anchors the defensive line with strength and leadership.

One Game Left

Seattle’s rise to the Super Bowl was no accident. With Jaxon Smith-Njigba leading the offense and a defense built to hit, the Seahawks are one win away from a championship.
