Seattle is one of the best teams in the league, but that doesn't mean it's full of crafty old veterans. There are some, to be sure, but the roster is littered with fantastic youngsters.
Richard Sherman is a perfect example. At just 25, he has put himself in the conversation of the best cornerbacks in the league.
Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor might be the NFL's best safety duo, and they are 24 and 25, respectively.
Second-year inside linebacker Bobby Wagner sits in the middle of that defense, playing alongside 24-year-old K.J. Wright.
Even guys you think have been around forever are still young. Sidney Rice is only 26. His running mate, Golden Tate, is just 24. Offseason trade acquisition Percy Harvin just turned 25.
Of course, what could make the Seahawks both dynamic and dominant in 2013 is second-year quarterback Russell Wilson. He brought the offense to life last season as a rookie, and more should be in store from the diminutive quarterback.
Potentially losing Harvin for a chunk of the season (via USA Today) will hurt, but given the fantastic players on this roster, it might not matter much in the end.
