The Seattle Seahawks defensive line proved to be a key weakness for the team during the 2021 NFL season. A dearth of impact players contributed to the unit’s collective struggle to generate a consistent pass rush, with Darrell Taylor seemingly being the only bright spot until Carlos Dunlap caught fire in the latter half of the season. Still, the team finished the year ranked No. 30 in sack rate. - Seattle will need reinforcements up front for next season and here are a few prospects they have already met with who might help. - 1.
