Gil Brandt, senior analyst over at NFL.com, has released his top 10 offensive-defensive duos heading into the 2021 NFL regular season, and only one pair has the Seattle Seahawks beat.
Brandt named the combo of quarterback Russell Wilson and safety Jamal Adams the second-best offensive-defensive duo in the league.
“No one has won more games through Year 9 in their NFL career than Wilson, who has 98 victories to his name following a 12-4 campaign in 2020,” Brandt writes. “Setting aside the question of who’s cooking and at what temperature, Wilson has helped keep the Seahawks in the upper echelon of the NFC more or less since becoming the team’s starter in 2012.”
Is there any better combination of offensive and defensive stars than the Packers' pair of Aaron Rodgers and Jaire Alexander? @Gil_Brandt ranks the top 10 offensive-defensive duos heading into 2021.https://t.co/J0riWoqGRm pic.twitter.com/WAchn3nHxG

“Adams has eclipsed linebacker Bobby Wagner as Seattle’s best defender, which is high praise — the do-it-all safety set a single-season record for sacks by a defensive back in 2020, with 9.5,” Brandt continues.
The Packers’ duo of signal-caller Aaron Rodgers and cornerback Jaire Alexander topped Brandt’s list at No. 1 overall.
