When these Seahawks were at their best, they had a lot of players with a chip on their shoulder, including several undrafted free agents who went on to become franchise legends. One of them was Doug Baldwin, who took up Steve Smith’s former title of the toughest receiver in the NFL pound for pound.
Getting back to the top of the mountain will require Seattle to find more diamonds in the rough like Baldwin who play key roles in pushing the whole team forward. Baldwin recently shared an interesting post on Twitter which detailed his thoughts on a winning culture.
I was recently asked about attributes of a winning culture. My answer: selfless effort and accountability
Throw on tape of Ricardo Lockette on special teams and SEE what I am talking about
Do what is best for the team and accept being held accountable to that standard

Trouble is the Seahawks seem to be lacking that kind of element on their current roster.
Their core of six stars (Russell Wilson, Bobby Wagner, Jamal Adams, Quandre Diggs, Tyler Lockett and D.K. Metcalf) are all worthy cornerstones. However, there are too few underrated gems further down the depth chart.
