The Seattle Seahawks were just one player away from tying their franchise-best mark for most Pro Bowl selections in a season.
The NFC-leading Seahawks had six players announced as selections for the Pro Bowl on Tuesday: quarterback Sam Darnold, wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba, defensive tackle Leonard Williams, outside linebacker Demarcus Lawrence, cornerback Devon Witherspoon and kick returner Rashid Shaheed. Smith-Njigba, Williams, Witherspoon and Shaheed were each named as starters.

Witherspoon, a third-year pro, secured his third straight Pro Bowl nod, joining quarterback Russell Wilson and linebackers Lofa Tatupu and Fredd Young as the only Seahawks to make the Pro Bowl in each of their first three seasons. The Illinois product has 64 total tackles, six passes defended, one interception, two tackles for loss and 0.5 sacks in 10 games. Witherspoon’s selection came despite the 25-year-old cornerback missing five games this season.
