Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Leonard Williams aims to replicate his success from 2025, where he earned his third Pro Bowl selection and contributed significantly to the team's Super Bowl victory. Williams notched 62 tackles, seven sacks, and 58 pressures last season, tying for the third-most sacks in his career. With the return of teammates Byron Murphy II and Jarran Reed for continuity in the defensive line, expectations are high for Williams to reach or exceed 8.5 sacks in 2026. His performance could hinge on Murphy's potential breakout, which might create more favorable matchups for Williams this season.
