Friday Round-Up: Seahawks RB C.J. Prosise A Year 2 Player Primed For A Breakout Season

Good morning, 12s. Here’s a look at what’s “out there” for today — Friday, May 26 — about your Seattle Seahawks: ESPN Makes Early Season Predictions With a better look at how NFL rosters will shape up in 2017, six ESPN insiders made early predictions for the upcoming season. Insiders made their picks for second-year players primed for a breakout season, the best offense and defense in 2017, and which teams they think got better and worse in the offseason. Seahawks running back C.J. Prosise was mentioned as a candidate to breakthrough next season by senior NFL writer Mike Sando. Here’s why: Seahawks RB C.J. Prosise should be primed for a breakout season in Year 2. He flashed great ability with Seattle as a rookie in 2016 -- 156 yards from scrimmage at New England, for instance -- but injuries kept him off the field. Better luck on the health front could let Prosise shine in a situational role. Additionally, insiders Matt Bowen and Aaron Schatz believe the Seahawks will have the best defense in 2017: Bowen: On defense, give me the Seahawks. Getting Earl Thomas back is the key to Seattle's core Cover 3 scheme. This unit wins with the perfect mix of rush and coverage. Schatz: On defense, I have to go with Seattle. The Seahawks' pass defense should return to greatness with Thomas back on the field, and they have a strong run defense as well.
