Seattle Seahawks post-Super Bowl player evaluations

Overview

Following the Seattle Seahawks’ Super Bowl LX victory, the team and its personnel have faced various public evaluations. In late July 2026, EA Sports faced criticism from fans for assigning the defending champions an 84 overall rating in Madden NFL 27 and for misspelling the team’s name on promotional materials. At the time, quarterback Sam Darnold stated he was focusing on the team’s new offensive system rather than external narratives.

By mid-August 2026, Darnold received individual recognition in the NFL Top 100 players list, where he was ranked No. 21. This represented a significant increase from his previous year’s ranking of No. 72, following his performance in the Seahawks’ championship season.
