The Seattle Seahawks have made a big move in the off-season to revamp their defensive line. The team has acquired three new defensive linemen, creating what they are calling a “three-headed monster”. The new additions are Jarran Reed, Poona Ford, and Benson Mayowa.
Reed is a 6-foot-3, 310-pound defensive tackle who was drafted in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft. He has been a key contributor for the Seahawks over the past four seasons, recording 11 sacks and 37 tackles for loss.
Ford is a 6-foot, 310-pound defensive tackle who was signed as an undrafted free agent in 2018. He has been a key contributor for the Seahawks over the past two seasons, recording four sacks and 13 tackles for loss.
Mayowa is a 6-foot-3, 265-pound defensive end who was signed as a free agent in 2020. He has been a key contributor for the Seahawks over the past two seasons, recording eight sacks and 18 tackles for loss.
The three-headed monster of Reed, Ford, and Mayowa will provide the Seahawks with a formidable defensive line. All three players have the ability to rush the passer and stop the run. They will also be able to rotate in and out of the lineup, keeping opposing offenses guessing and allowing the Seahawks to stay fresh throughout the game.
The Seahawks have put together a formidable defensive line with the addition of Reed, Ford, and Mayowa. This “three-headed monster” should be able to create pressure on opposing quarterbacks and help the Seahawks improve their defense in 2021.
