Star, there were at least a couple of other Seattle players who should also have been included on the NFC team.

Cornerback Devon Witherspoon joined an elite group of Seahawks on Thursday morning by earning a spot in the Pro Bowl Games for on second straight year.

Congratulations are in order to Seattle Seahawks cornerback Devon Witherspoon! The official Pro Bowl rosters for this year have been announced, and the second year Seahawks stud has been selected. Witherspoon has now made back-to-back Pro Bowls to begin his NFL career.

The Seattle Seahawks are eliminated from playoff contention. Despite their 3-0 start, they had too many mid-season losses to keep pace with the Los Angeles Rams. The highlight of their season has been second-year wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba.

RENTON — As he has done so often the last two years, Tyler Lockett pulled Jaxon Smith-Njigba aside a few weeks ago and gave him a little encouragement. Only this time was a little different.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba had led the Seattle Seahawks in receiving for a seventh straight game, catching 10 passes for 83 yards in their home loss to the Green Bay Packers on Dec. 15. The performance put him on the doorstep of 1,000 yards for the campaign and led to a question about his breakout second season.
