Seahawks Need Chancellor Healthy for Playoff Push

Chancellor has been a primary cog in the Legion of Boom secondary throughout his career and helped the Seahawks reach two straight Super Bowls at the end of the 2013 and 2014 seasons.

The four-time Pro Bowler is a physical enforcer at 6'3" and 225 pounds. He makes plays against the run and stops receivers who dare to cross the middle of the field. He can stick with tight ends and running backs in one-on-one scenarios and provide critical help on receivers by taking away the deep ball. 

Fortunately for the Seahawks, they have superstars Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas in the secondary, but Chancellor's return will provide a huge boost to the defense.
