After a successful season under the “Kris Kocurek stimulus package” in 2020, Kerry Hyder inked a three-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks. After Nick Bosa’s season-ending injury, Hyder was pressed into duty and delivered. Hyder racked up 8.5 sacks, ten tackles for loss, and 18 QB hits.
Hyder’s time in Seattle wasn’t nearly as productive, but he did accumulate 11 QB hits. Still, Seattle released him, opening the door for a reunion with the 49ers.
As a rotational piece, Hyder was a veteran leader who came up big in certain games. In 2023, Hyder will be counted on to do the same for a team with Super Bowl aspirations.
