Key Players
Smith's accuracy and football IQ have made him a reliable starter. His ability to operate efficiently in the short-to-intermediate area gives Seattle a consistent offensive floor.
Purdy's processing speed and accuracy within Shanahan's system make him one of the most efficient quarterbacks in football. His ability to identify and attack soft spots in coverage quickly is a genuine skill.
Metcalf's combination of size and speed makes him one of the NFC's most physically imposing wide receivers. His deep-ball threat forces safeties to play back.
McCaffrey's versatility as both a runner and receiver out of the backfield creates matchup nightmares for linebackers and safeties. He is the offense's most important player and the focal point of every defensive game plan.
