Explaining the Seattle Seahawks fall from greatness

Let’s flash back to the Seahawks of 2012.

The Seahawks drafted Russell Wilson, Bobby Wagner, Bruce Irvin, Jeremy Lane and JR Sweezy. Plus, Seattle acquired Marshawn Lynch the previous year for a 2012 5th-round pick. Bleacher Report gave that draft class an ‘F’, the only team to get that failing grade.

The crazy thing is a lot of people agreed, myself included. The Seahawks took a chance on a lot of guys nobody wanted. Pete Carroll and John Schneider had a plan, and that plan involved building a team with a huge chip on their shoulder.
