Ryan Neal has PFF’s highest grade this year for any safety

The Seahawks suffered another setback with Jamal Adams only minutes into the 2022 season. Adams’ quad injury put him out for the year and by the end of this season he’ll have missed as many games as he’s played for Seattle.

On the bright side, Adams’ absence has created an opening for Ryan Neal, who’s run with the opportunity and played out of his mind the last couple months since joining the lineup. Neal has balled out so much that he’s now the highest-graded safety in the NFL this season according to Pro Football Focus. Here’s a look at the full top 15.
