"If you're still sleeping on them from 2025, you might want to wake up" 😴 @Do_OrAddae37 on the @Seahawks defense going

What happened: A quote circulating from @Do_OrAddae37 makes the case that the Seattle Seahawks defense is being underrated heading into the 2026 season. The remark — "If you're still sleeping on them from 2025, you might want to wake up" — frames the unit as a group that outsiders are undervaluing this offseason.

Why it matters: The comment adds to a steady drumbeat of offseason attention on Seattle's defense, a group whose defensive line depth has already drawn praise this offseason. Expectations matter in the NFC West, where the Seahawks need their defense to carry weight against a deep division.

What to watch: Watch how the defense holds up once training camp and preseason reps begin, and whether the offseason hype translates into early-season production.
