I mentioned before<\/a>, the NFC is pretty loaded. But the Seattle Seahawks hold their own. In fact, two teams stand out in this regard.<\/p>\n2025 All-Pro Players By Team<\/p>\n
Denver Broncos – 6 (Garrett Bolles, Quinn Meinerz, Zach Allen, Patrick Surtain II, Talanoa Hufanga, Devon Key) | Two offensive linemen, and a brutalizing defense.<\/p>\n
Seattle Seahawks – 5 (Devon Witherspoon, Leonard Williams, Ernest Jones IV, Michael Dickson, Jaxon Smith-Njigba)| You know them well, and there could have been more.<\/p>\n
San Francisco 49ers – 3 (Christian McCaffrey, Kyle Juszczyk, Trent Williams) | ok.<\/p>\n
Chicago Bears – 3 (Kevin Byard, Darnell Wright, Joe Thuney) | This is interesting. Don\u2019t write them off against the Rams?<\/p>\n
Houston Texans – 3 (Will Anderson, Danielle Hunter, Derek Stingley Jr)| It\u2019s dumb when 80% of their defense is essentially three players, but they\u2019re all here, so\u2026<\/p>\n
New England Patriots – 2 (Drake Maye, Marcus Jones)| Second-year QB as an All Pro. Who will start the \u2018Better than Brady\u2019 conversation?<\/p>\n
Buffalo Bills – 2 (James Cook, Ray Davis) | And it doesn\u2019t even include Josh Allen.<\/p>\n
Los Angeles Rams – 2 (Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua)| Congratulations.<\/p>\n
This is why we got such a fantastic weekend of Wild Card games, and the top two teams on this list didn\u2019t even play yet!<\/p>\n
We\u2019re coming out with our Field Gulls prediction on the remainder of the playoffs later this week. Seattle has what I believe is the most reliable set of tools to make the run all the way to the Super Bowl, as I\u2019ll claim when the piece comes out. Not only is the team extremely prepared and coached up under Mike Macdonald, but they\u2019ve got elite talent at all three phases of the game. They\u2019ve got the defense everyone knows, an offense that\u2019s unquestionably better than outcasts like the Philadelphia Eagles, and a Pro Bowl punter – while the best kick returner in the postseason isn\u2019t even on this list.<\/p>\n
The talent discrepancy showed itself in a massive yard and time of possession differential in Week 18 against the San Francisco 49ers, even if it didn\u2019t result in greater point disparity. It\u2019s reasonable (and exciting) to expect as much or more of the same on Saturday.<\/p>\n
That\u2019s right, Kyle Shanahan<\/a>. Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There are eight teams left in the 2026 NFL playoffs.
