Quandre Diggs and Bobby Wagner’s 2021 NFL season
The teammates of Wilson, Diggs, and Wanger had a pretty good NFL season. Bobby Wanger has been selected for the Pro Bowl second-team, but Quandre Diggs is completely missing out. Diggs dislocated his ankle in the Week 18 game against the Arizona Cardinals. The Seahawks won the game 38-30. But Diggs is expected to remain on the sidelines for at least four to five months. Before getting injured, Diggs was arguably one of the MVPs for Seattle this season. He made a team-high five interceptions. The team selected him for a second straight Pro Bowl. But he did not make the cut.

Bobby Wagner, on the other hand, has been impressive as well. The veteran entered his 10th NFL season in 2021. After being named for the Pro Bowl second team, Wanger proved that he still has it. He is arguably one of the best linebackers in Seahawks history. Wagner has been selected in the Pro Bowl for eight consecutive seasons from 2014 to 2021. He entered the second team in 2016 and 2021. The rest of them are all first-team selections.
