Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Leonard Williams earned second-team All-Pro honors in 2025, but with a new season ahead, is he one of the 10 best players at his position for the upcoming year?

According to Sports Illustrated’s Mike Kadlick, Williams ranks as the No. 7 defensive tackle in the league heading into next season.

“Williams is tied for the most run-stop wins when doubled-teamed over the past three seasons (120) according to ESPN, and his versatility to line up virtually anywhere along Seattle’s defensive front makes him one of the league’s toughest matchups on a week-to-week basis,” Kadlick said.

Williams is approaching his age 32-season in the league in 2026 coming off of the best year of his career last season. He was not recognized as being one of the top four players at his position the way that he was by voters for the All-Pro teams at the end of last season, but he will anchor Seattle’s front four once again in 2026 and is likely to have another impact year for the defending Super Bowl champions.
