Jarran Reed, selected in the second round of the 2016 draft by the Alabama Seahawks, had two different seasons in which he had 11 sacks (2018 and 2020), but his name recognition was never at the height of his skills in the field. field. Reed spent time with the Chiefs in 2021 and the Packers in 2022, returning to Seattle last season on a two-year, $9 million contract.

A pretty good deal for a seriously underrated player and someone who knows how to wreak havoc against a fast-paced game. Last season, Reed had two sacks and 17 total interior pressures on those pass rushes, and only Dexter Lawrence created more quick pressures from a front tackle alignment than Reed’s 14.
