It was well-noted that the Seattle Seahawks moved on from every single member of the unwatchably porous defensive line in 2022, save only for Uchenna Nwosu.
Poona Ford, gone. Shelby Harris, gone. Al Woods, gone. Quinton Jefferson, gone. L.J. Collier, gone before you ever knew he was actually here.

In particular, one well-known member of the Russell Wilson era of Seahawks ball has returned in the middle of the defense, and has made an immediate impact on the run defense.
