Imagine: it’s the year 2013, and you are an NFL offensive coordinator. Even worse, pretend you’re an NFL offensive coordinator facing the Seattle Seahawks defense just as their soon-to-be iconic “Legion of Boom” secondary is hitting its peak.
Featuring the stylings of physical cornerbacks Richard Sherman, Brandon Browner, and Byron Maxwell, as well as the rumbling hits of safeties Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor, this defensive unit became one of the most feared in the league during the early part of the decade.
It also prompted fantasy players to rabidly draft the Seattle Defense/Special Teams unit at the 88th pick of fantasy drafts, or the 4th pick in the 8th round of 12-team leagues in 2014 (per FantasyFootballCalculator).
