Seattle Seahawks depth fuels Super Bowl run across roster
The Seahawks credit depth beyond stars for their 2014 championship bid. Stars like Sherman Wilson and Lynch draw praise, but teammates such as Ke arse Thurmond and Smith prove the team can rotate eight defensive linemen. From Browner’s injury to Maxwell’s surge, Seattle’s backups often outperform expectations and 23 players have spent time on other teams' 53-man rosters in the past year. Kam Chancellor notes practice depth and special teams carry real value.
