The Seattle Seahawks have managed to remain competitive for two years after trading away franchise quarterback Russell Wilson, but after the success they had with him, mere competitiveness simply isn’t enough for them.
They’re looking to improve on the nine wins they had in each of the last two seasons, and while they haven’t made any big splashes this offseason, they may have the squad to get it done.
Tomlinson broke into the NFL as the No. 28 pick by the Detroit Lions in 2015, and after two seasons with them, he moved on to the San Francisco 49ers for the 2017 campaign.
At the time, the 49ers were at the ground level, but they were starting to build a winner, and Tomlinson helped protect quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo as he took the team back to its accustomed place near the top of the league.
The Niners went to the Super Bowl in the 2019 season, where they lost to the Kansas City Chiefs, and two years later, Tomlinson was voted into the Pro Bowl.
He played the last two seasons with the New York Jets.
Seattle’s offensive line was lacking in 2023, and the hope is that Tomlinson, who is 32 years of age, will help shore up that deficiency.
Quarterback Geno Smith has surprised many by making the Pro Bowl in both of the last two seasons for Seattle, and if Tomlinson does his job well, perhaps Smith will get the nod once again this fall.
DETROIT (WXYZ) — Two weeks from now, downtown Detroit will be filled with hundreds of thousands of football fans for the NFL Draft. While restaurants, bars and hotels hope those visitors stop in, so do tourist attractions like the Detroit Institute of Arts.
Inside the DIA, you’ll find two iconic murals that embody the city of Detroit, embracing the blue-collar work ethic that defines this region and it’s football team.
“Just like Detroit as a whole, you can see the Lions are built off that nitty-gritty style,” Joe Sanders from Detroit said. “It’s displayed here in the Rivera Court very well.”
