With the regular season almost two weeks behind the Seattle Seahawks, it’s time to start handing out some hardware.
Here at Seahawks Gab, Editor Devon Heinen offers his finalists for team awards you, the 12th Man, will have the opportunity to vote for.
Team MVP
Leon Washington: After having his 2009 season ended early due to a broken leg, Washington tied his career best of three kickoffs returned for a touchdown in a single season in addition to setting the Seattle franchise record for longest kickoff return of 101 yards.
Earl Thomas: The rookie safety out of Texas finished fifth on the team in total tackles and had five interceptions and a forced fumble.
Mike Williams: After two years away from the game, Mike Williams came back strong. He not only led the team in targets, but receptions, yards, catches of 20-yards or more, yards after the catch and first down receptions.
David Hawthorne: For a second straight season, the linebacker led the team in tackles while also recording an interception, two forced fumbles and a fumble recovery.
