The Seahawks selected Knight in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, so it wasn't a surprise that he began his rookie season primarily as a special teams contributor. However, after Seattle surprisingly released Tyrel Dodson following Week 9, Knight went on to log at least three-quarters of the defensive snaps across the final eight contests of the season. In that span, he averaged 8.1 tackles per game and should have a clear path to a three-down role entering 2025. Coach Mike Macdonald didn't hesitate to make sweeping changes in his first season, so there's no guarantee that Knight will hang onto the role, but he enters the season as a prime breakout candidate.
