Cal or Julio.

Hard to say who the biggest star is on a team with several amazing players. But currently, I'd go with JSN.

WIth all the talk, I'd have to say Sam is up there somewhere... he may not be the best.. I'm not saying that, but he's our best.

I think Leonard Williams is one of the key players in the Seahawks' defense. He's critical to that defense, and likely one of the best players, but because of his position, he doesn't have the same name recognition or star power that you need to be the "star" of the city. Even a casual fan knows who JSN is, but he might not be that familiar with Leo.

This is pretty much how I see the top 3 for sure. Cal Raliegh off his historic year, JSN being all world and then Darnold because of the nature of playing QB and the national narrative about him. I do think Emmanwori is close to Naylor because he has been getting a lot of national talk too as a rookie. Multiple ex-players have mentioned him on their pods and talk shows.

So true. I know what Leo is to this team. All the way to the core of the culture. He is this teams beast mode. He’s daddy… but I’m not just a fan….

He's got a cool haircut though.
