There are certain players on every team that have more expectations on them that others. The 2021 version of the Seattle Seahawks are no different. Who are the 5 most important players for the Seahawks in 2021?

With their first exhibition game just days away, the Seattle Seahawks are busy with the process of fleshing out their roster for the upcoming year. Here are 12 players that the Hawks success will, likely, hinge upon the most in 2021.

The Seattle Seahawks, along with Baltimore, Kansas City and Green Bay, have seven players named to their respective conference's Pro Bowl roster -- the most by any team in the NFL.

The 2020 Seahawks chance to have an undefeated season came crashing to earth in week 7 with a heartbreaking 37-34 loss in overtime to their NFC West rivals the Arizona Cardinals in front of a nationally televised audience on NBC Sports Sunday Night Football telecast.

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has, almost unbelievably, never received even a single vote for the NFL's Most Valuable Player. With his outrageously hot start to the 2020 season, that may finally change. If the folks at EA Sports have any say, Wilson is easily one of the best players in the game as evidenced by his inclusion into the elite Madden 99 Club.

The Seahawks went to 3-0 to start the year for the first time since their Super Bowl winning year of 2013 with a 38-31 win over the Dallas Cowboys in week 3 of the 2020 NFL season.
