With the NFL Draft approaching, the Seattle Seahawks and their new head coach Mike Macdonald are gaining momentum. While the focus is primarily on new players, the veterans have taken the opportunity to express their positive outlook on the offseason under the new coaching staff. During a press conference on Wednesday, players shared their thoughts on the team's new direction.

Defensive lineman Leonard Williams, who played only eight games with the Seahawks last season, expressed his excitement about the changes taking place. Williams highlighted the new coach's emphasis on creating a clean foundation and the opportunity to shape their own identity as a team. He acknowledged the importance of respecting the Seahawks' tradition and history while embracing the chance to build something unique.

Williams also applauded the role of former head coach Pete Carroll in revitalizing his career. Showing his appreciation, he credited Carroll for enabling him to be in Seattle. Despite acknowledging the team's urgency for the upcoming season, Williams made it clear that the Seahawks are not treating this as a rebuilding year.

The sense of urgency within the team was further emphasized by Williams, who mentioned how it has brought the players closer together, fostering a heightened level of commitment to meetings, training, and on-field performance. The players appear to be locked in on a different level, indicating their readiness and determination for the upcoming season.

Another player, Devon Witherspoon, acknowledged the smooth transition under the new coaching regime. He highlighted some differences in the way the new coach runs things, expresses himself, and teaches the team about football. Witherspoon mentioned his coach's constant motivation for him to reach his full potential, recognizing that he still has room for improvement.

While the offseason is filled with surprises, the Seahawks' veterans are optimistic about the future. The impending NFL Draft adds anticipation and excitement, with potential changes that could further shape the team. However, for now, it is evident that both players and coaches are handling the regime change with confidence and composure.

As the team continues to prepare for the upcoming season, one remaining question lingers: What kind of motivational signs, slogans, or strategies does Coach Mike Macdonald have in store for the Seahawks? Only time will tell. The players and fans await the reveal and look forward to seeing the team's progress as they work towards their goals.
