Charles Cross, drafted ninth overall in 2022, has shown significant improvement in his third season, ranking sixth among left tackles in overall Pro Football Focus grade. After two inconsistent years, he has become a reliable blindside protector, excelling in run blocking and allowing minimal pressures. His performance has been vital for the Seahawks, especially with the struggles of the rest of the offensive line and the retirement of center Connor Williams. Cross is on track for his first Pro Bowl selection, showcasing the potential to become a foundational piece of Seattle's offensive line.
