Seattle Seahawks offensive tackle Charles Cross has garnered significant recognition for his impressive performance during the 2024 NFL season, landing at No. 13 on Pro Football Focus's ranking of the top 32 offensive tackles. Despite facing challenges with one of the league's least effective offensive lines, Cross showcased his growth by reducing his pressure rate from 8.1% to 7.0% and earning an impressive 81.3 PFF pass-blocking grade.

In a season where he played nearly 1,100 snaps, Cross allowed only six sacks and 47 pressures, a testament to his skill and resilience. As the Seahawks prepare for the 2025 season, they are optimistic about the revamped offensive line, particularly with the addition of rookie left guard Grey Zabel beside Cross. With the Seahawks exercising Cross's fifth-year option and a potential contract extension on the horizon, he appears poised to be a cornerstone of Seattle's offensive strategy for years to come.
