Will Seahawks DT Leonard Williams make another All-Pro team in 2026?

Is Seattle Seahawks defensive tackle Leonard Williams primed to earn another All-Pro nod in 2026?

Williams was named a second-team All-Pro honoree in 2025. The California native recorded seven sacks and a batted pass last season. His 58 pressures ranked No. 4 in the NFL among all defensive linemen. Williams helped the Seahawks win the Super Bowl at the end of last season.

An individual season of excellence like the one that Williams had last season will not be an easy task to match or exceed next season. However, history shows that the USC product is on a trajectory that will lead to another season of note in 2026.

Williams had a career year in 2024 at 30 years of age. He registered 11 sacks and 16 tackles for loss that season for the Seahawks. Williams has recorded at least 5.5 sacks in four of the last five seasons after only doing so in two of his first six seasons in the league.

Williams has not only played at a higher level in recent years, but has also benefited from the championship culture that the Seahawks provided him once he arrived in Seattle in 2023.

With Seattle’s defense expected to be among the best in the league next season, if not the best, Williams will have much attention on him and the impact that he has on the Seahawks’ relentless pass rush. A second All-Pro nod is in the cards for him in 2026, on either team. Tennessee Titans DT Jeffery Simmons sets the standard at the position, but Williams has the potential to be named to the first-team along with him. Williams will earn a second-team All-Pro nod in this projection for next season.
