The Seattle Seahawks have had Defensive Rookie of the Year finalists in back-to-back seasons, but neither Riq Woolen nor Devon Witherspoon was able to take home the award. In fact, no Seahawks player has ever won Offensive or Defensive Rookie of the Year. Byron Murphy II, Seattle’s top draft pick, says one of his goals is to win that award.
The NFL’s X/Twitter account sent out a post asking for predictions on who wins DROY for 2024. The graphic highlights Laiatu Latu, Dallas Turner, Jared Verse, Chop Robinson, Quinton Mitchell, and Terrion Arnold. Everyone is a first-round pick, sure, but it seems a bit weird that the second defensive player drafted is an omission.
