Following up two stellar draft classes, the Seahawks hope to once again have several rookies play a key role right away in 2024.
will open their first training camp practice under the direction of new coach Mike Macdonald on July 24 with plenty of buzz surrounding the franchise entering a new era.
Looking towards the 2024 season, which incoming Seahawks rookie will make the biggest instant impact for Macdonald's squad? Our writing staff dished out their picks examining which rookie they expect to splash the most heading into training camp:Cited as the best defensive player in the draft by general manager John Schneider moments after being selected by the team with the 16th overall selection, the Seahawks will be counting on the uber-athletic Murphy to immediately wreak havoc...
We don't need to overthink this one. After this season, Murphy may emerge as Seattle's best rookie, but he could also enter the conversation as one of the team's best all-around players. He was heralded as an elite interior pass rusher for a reason, ranking first in the FBS in pressure rate and pass-rush win rate from the defensive tackle position in 2023, per Pro Football Focus.
The Seahawks rookie class is one built for a long-term vision rather than the 2024 season. It’s an impressive group and defensive tackle Byron Murphy II is likely to be a monstrous force on the interior. However, he won’t help protect Geno Smith and that is where Haynes will shine. A third-round pick out of Connecticut, Haynes was a mauler on the interior for the Huskies, flashing an excellent anchor and powerful hands to keep defenders at bay.
