Uchenna Nwosu leads the Seahawks in sacks with 7.0, making a return of investment. The Seahawks snagged an under-the-radar free agency pickup during the offseason, acquiring Nwosu from the Chargers and it has paid dividends. Nwosu has now become one of the league's most efficient pass rushers. During his first three seasons with the Chargers, Nwosu was a reserve player in defensive coordinator Gus Bradley's 4-3 scheme, but when Brandon Staley became the head coach last season and switched to a 3-4, Nwosu saw his playing time increase as an outside linebacker in Staley's scheme, starting 15 of 17 games played while recording career highs in sacks (5.0) tackles (40), tackles for loss (8) and quarterback hits (17). With the Seahawks shifting to more 3-4 concepts under new Defensive Coordinator Clint Hurtt, Nwosu saw an opportunity in Seattle. Through nine games in 2022, Nwosu leads the NFL in total pressures, is seventh in quarterback hits, is tied for sixth in sacks, is tied for 11th in tackles for loss and has two forced fumbles and a recovery. Nwosu possesses start-stop quickness to put himself in position to make a play. He has good burst and plays with a relentless motor. Nwosu fits the prototypical 3-4 outside linebacker mold and has fortified Seattle's defense.
