The Seahawks overcame a lot to win a Super Bowl last season. One of their defining characteristics was how they handled when things did not go their way.

Sam Darnold apparently did not do much to change the perspective of who he is as a quarterback after notching another 14-win season and raising the Lombardi Trophy. Mina Kimes and Ben Solak ranked him as the 19th QB in their draft of NFL QBs. Let's discuss.   Sign up for PrizePicks with code: HMA and get $50 in lineups instantly when you play your first $5+ lineup! https://link.prizepicks.com/LME0/HMAHAWKBLOGGER   Get 30% off sitewide at BATCH — and yes, that applies to subscriptions too, so you can lock in that discount on your monthly supply.
