Levi Bell leads Seahawks with highest Pro Football Focus grade this week

Buy Seahawks Tickets

The Seahawks might just have a strong and deep edge rotation after all. Saturday night’s preseason win over the Cowboys featured several high-quality performances from the team’s young group of mostly unproven outside linebackers. Tyreke Smith, Boye Mafe and Derick Hall have been getting most of the attention. However, according to PFF, the best of them was undrafted rookie Levi Bell out of Texas State. He posted the highest player rating for Seattle this week, earning an 89.5 overall grade.

Here are the best and worst perfomers on both sides of the ball this week, according to PFF’s overall player grades.
