As expected, the Seahawks will open training camp without fifth-round pick Rylie Mills able to practice, but several other undrafted rookies also will be sidelined indefinitely.

In terms of pure talent, the Seahawks stack up favorably against any other team in the league with Devon Witherspoon and Riq Woolen atop the depth chart. But can the duo elevate the group to another level in year two in Mike Macdonald’s scheme?

Jalen Sundell wasn’t even on the roster until late July and Cody White looked to be on the outside looking in at receiver for the Seahawks, but both wound up surprising in training camp and seeing action in regular season games. Which dark horses could emerge this year?

Undergoing a full-scale retool at quarterback this offseason, the Seahawks have put their faith in Sam Darnold to take the franchise to the next level, while a potential future starter begins developing in the wings.
