For all the questions surrounding the Seattle Seahawks, a group that apparently isn't a concern is safety.
NFL.com recently labeled that position as one of strength heading into late July and the start of NFL training camp.
Bucky Brooks at NFL.com ranked the best combinations at every position group in the game. The Seahawks nabbed the No. 1 ranking at safety with talented players like Quandre Diggs, Jamal Adams, and Julian Love.
Here is what Brooks had to say about the Seahawks' safety core:
“The Seahawks’ revamped secondary will allow Pete Carroll to tap into the complementary skills of his veteran safety trio. Diggs, Love — a free-agent addition — and Adams can create big plays in the deep middle, slot or inside the box. Moreover, the unit’s versatility and overall awareness… give the Seahawks the potential to create the second coming of the Legion of Boom. Adams missed all but one game last season with a torn quad muscle, but if he returns to form as an All-Pro safety who thrives as a pass rusher, the Seahawks will have the league’s best combination of playmakers at safety.
What is scary is the depth the Seahawks have at safety could have been even better. But the organization elected to let Ryan Neal walk so that he could actually have an opportunity to start for a team in the NFL.
Seattle will be able to play fast in the secondary with players that are marked by their versatility and dexterity at the position.
And moving forward, that is exactly what Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll was hoping for. With the No. 1 safety group heading into the season, now Seattle has to back up that ranking with its play on the field.
