Seattle Seahawks predictably shutout of NFL Honors awards finalists

Unsurprisingly, the NFL Honors is not going to have any Seattle Seahawks presence for the Related Press awards.

The finalists for Most Beneficial Participant, Offensive and Defensive Rookie of the Yr, Offensive and Defensive Participant of the Yr, Comeback Participant of the Yr, Assistant Coach of the Yr, and Coach of the Yr had been introduced on Thursday. In contrast to the previous two seasons, Seahawks are nowhere to be discovered for any of those classes.

Final season the Seahawks had Devon Witherspoon end fourth in Defensive Rookie of the Yr voting, whereas 2022 noticed Geno Smith win Comeback Participant of the Yr, Riq Woolen end third in Defensive Rookie of the Yr, and Kenneth Walker III voted as runner-up in Offensive Rookie of the Yr.

There’s actually no sturdy argument to be made for any Seahawks participant to be included within the prime 5 voting for the AP awards. MVP is out of the query, Offensive Participant of the Yr is a complete non-debate, Defensive Participant of the Yr may need had a case for Leonard Williams however even that’s a tough promote, nobody was in Comeback Participant of the Yr positioning, and Seattle’s rookie class wasn’t impactful sufficient to benefit nominations on both facet of the ball. Assistant Coach of the Yr wasn’t taking place on the idea of Seattle firing its offensive coordinator, whereas Mike Macdonald’s Coach of the Yr case in all probability would’ve necessitated just a few extra wins and a playoff berth.

Oh properly. No huge deal. We should still see a Seahawks presence throughout NFL Honors night time on Feb. 6 for the Walter Payton Man of the Yr, for which Uchenna Nwosu is Seattle’s nominee. In any other case, right here’s the record of AP finalists for the 2024 common season:
