"12 as One" war das Motto der Seattle Seahawks in der Saison 2025. Elf Spieler auf dem Feld gemeinsam mit den Fans als unüberwindbare Einheit – die Mannschaft als Star hat das Team von Head Coach Mike Macdonald zum Super-Bowl-Titel geführt. Trotzdem stachen aus dem Kollektiv immer wieder Einzelspieler heraus, die bei aller Liebe für die Gemeinschaft ein Sonderlob verdient haben.
Das waren die besten Seahawks-Spieler der Saison 2025:
1. Jaxon Smith-Njigba
Die beste individuelle Saison eines Seahawks-Receivers aller Zeiten endete … natürlich mit dem größten Mannschaftstitel im American Football. Okay, das war so nicht unbedingt vorhersehbar. Dass Wide Receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba eine derartige Leistungsexplosion hinlegen würde, hatten aber auch die wenigsten auf dem Schirm.
Mit den Abgängen zweier prägender Passempfänger der Teamgeschichte, DK Metcalf und Tyler Lockett, begann in Seattle eine neue Zeitrechnung. JSN pulverisierte in seinem dritten NFL-Jahr den Seahawks-Rekord für die meisten Receiving Yards in einer Saison: Die 1.793 Yards schrammten zwar knapp am NFL-Rekord von Calvin Johnson aus der Saison 2012 (1.964) vorbei, aber das war Smith-Njigba völlig egal.

Auf dem Weg zum größten NFL-Meilenstein seiner Position hätte er auch öffentlich mehr Pässe in seine Richtung einfordern können. Aber nein: Er betonte in jedem Interview – auch nach Spielen ohne viele Catches und Yards – wie wichtig ihm nur das Kollektiv ist und dass seine Mitspieler Erfolg haben. Respekt für diese Selbstlosigkeit.
Belohnt wurde JSN am Ende trotzdem: mit der Auszeichnung als bester Offensivspieler der Saison. Was für ein Jahr für den Seahawks-Receiver Nummer eins!
2. Nick Emmanwori
Die Macht war stark in ihm. Es fällt schwer, aus der historischen Defensive der Seahawks in der Saison 2025 einen Spieler hervorzuheben, denn eine ihrer großen Stärken war es, dass in jedem Spiel andere Akteure im Mittelpunkt standen.
Defensive Back Nick Emmanwori steht daher stellvertretend für die komplette Dark Side, wie sich Seattles Verteidigung selbst getauft hat. Nicht nur mit seiner physischen Spielweise erinnerte er stark an Kam "Bam Bam Kam" Chancellor, Mitglied der legendären Legion of Boom. Auch seine ansteckenden Emotionen und seine Präsenz überall auf dem Spielfeld waren ein Grund, warum er am Ende der Saison in der Auswahl zum besten Defensiv-Rookie der Saison landete und in seinem ersten Profijahr den Super Bowl gewann.
Schon jetzt steht fest: Auch Emmanwori war wieder ein goldener Draftpick von Macdonald und General Manager John Schneider.
3. Sam Darnold
Was wurde nicht schon alles über den Quarterback der Seahawks geschrieben. Er könne keine wichtigen Spiele gewinnen. Er zerbreche unter Druck. Er mache in den entscheidenden Momenten zu viele Fehler.
Die Antwort von Sam Darnold: Stille. Lächeln. Und harte Arbeit. Die Worte der Kritiker interessierten den Spielmacher nicht – auch dann nicht, als er ganz oben stand und locker-lässig einen Seitenhieb gegen alle hätte austeilen können, die ihm den Erfolg nicht zugetraut hatten.
Stattdessen brachte Darnold die Zweifler mit Leistung zum Schweigen. Indem er ab Mitte November 2025 kein NFL-Spiel mehr verlor, in den Playoffs keinen einzigen Ballverlust verursachte und die vielleicht wichtigste Partie seiner Karriere, das NFC Championship Game gegen die Los Angeles Rams, fast im Alleingang gewann.
Die Seahawks haben ihren Quarterback gefunden – aber das war allen im Team ja schon länger klar.
4. Jason Myers
Dieser Rekord stand lange so stabil wie der Türsteher vom Berghain in Berlin. Dann kam der Kicker der Seahawks und sneakte sich klammheimlich in den exklusiven Club rein. Oder anders gesagt: Er setzte einen drauf. Jason Myers hält mit 206 Punkten jetzt den neuen Bestwert für die meisten Punkte eines Spielers in Regular Season und Playoffs. Er überholte mit fünf Field Goals für 15 Punkte und zwei Extrapunkten den legendären LaDainian Tomlinson, der 2006 bei den San Diego Chargers für 198 Punkte verantwortlich war.
85 Prozent Trefferquote bei Field Goals, 100 Prozent bei Extrapunkten und ein Rekord – damit gehört Myers natürlich in diese Saison-Auswahl. Seine 15 Punkte im Super Bowl allein hätten schon für den Seahawks-Sieg gereicht. Vielleicht hätte er sogar MVP-Kandidat im Endspiel sein müssen.
5. Kenneth Walker III
Apropos MVP: Die Saison des Running Backs begann durchwachsen, doch sie nahm am Ende so sehr Fahrt auf, dass der Titel als wertvollster Spieler im Super Bowl fast schon die logische Konsequenz sein musste.
Walker spielte eine fabelhafte zweite Saisonhälfte. Seine 771 Yards (Rushing und Receiving) in den finalen drei Spielen der Regular Season und den drei Playoff-Spielen trugen die Seahawks in und durch die K.-o.-Phase.slate
Gerade als sein Tandempartner Zach Charbonnet verletzt ausfiel, dessen Trikotnummer 26 er im Super Bowl auf einem Stück Tape am Handgelenk bei sich trug, war auf Walker Verlass. Vor den Augen seines Vaters, der trotz Angst vor großen Menschenansammlungen erstmals überhaupt live im Stadion dabei war, packte der Mann mit dem Spitznamen K9 die Offensive auf seine Schultern und war nicht mehr aufzuhalten.

Lobende Erwähnung: Alle
"12 as One" ist nur einer von vielen Leitsätzen, der die Seahawks in der Saison 2025 begleiteten. Nicht weniger wichtig war es Cheftrainer Mike Macdonald, immer wieder die Zahl 70 zu betonen. Damit meinte er alle 70 Spieler seiner Mannschaft, also nicht nur die Jungs, die am Spieltag auf dem Feld stehen, sondern auch die des Trainingskaders, die Woche für Woche eine wichtige Rolle bei der Vorbereitung spielen.
Was die Seahawks in dieser Saison wirklich ausgezeichnet hat, war ihr Teamgeist. Die Spieler gaben für die Menschen zu ihrer Linken und Rechten alles, stellten eigene Interessen hinten an und wurden mit dem größten Erfolg im American Football belohnt.
