The Washington Huskies enter spring practices in 2018 with bigger questions on the defensive front than at probably any point in the Chris Petersen and Pete Kwiatkowski era. For the first time, the Huskies don’t have multiple 300+ pound run stuffers coming back as established starters or high-potential guys waiting for action. That’s not entirely true, actually - 2014 featured established starter Danny Shelton, and Elijah Qualls coming off his redshirt season. 2016 had Qualls, plus the emerging Greg Gaines and Vita Vea. And last year, Vea and Gaines anchored one of the best defenses in the country.
