Following the 2015 offseason trade of Max Unger to the New Orleans Saints, the Seattle Seahawks went through one of their worst years at center in recent history. Maybe all-time history, I’m not uber familiar with how the centers of the 70s, 80s, and 90s did, but it was bad. In 2015, the Seahawks split time at center with Drew Nowak opening the year as the starter and Patrick Lewis closing it out. Neither player has come close to a meaningful snap in the NFL since.
That’s when Tom Cable converted Justin Britt to a new position for the second time in as many years, salvaging a disappointing two-year career and mostly erasing one of their most egregious weaknesses.
