RENTON, Wash. -- The Seattle Seahawks' breakout candidate for 2022 isn't a player, so much as an entire position group. The team is expecting big things from its tight ends -- a unit headlined by newcomer Noah Fant and Will Dissly -- and one of the reasons might surprise you.
While it's a virtual certainty that there will be a sizable drop-off from Russell Wilson to whichever quarterback ends up replacing him, the widely held belief inside the Virginia Mason Athletic Center is that tight ends will benefit from the switch, as counterintuitive as it may sound.
