Santa Clara, California - February 08: Defensive end Rylie Mills of the Seattle Seahawks celebrated a sack against the New England Patriots during Super Bowl LX at Levi's Stadium on February 08, 2026. Mills, a 2025 draft pick, has been praised by Fox Sports analyst Rob Rang who projects him for significant growth in the upcoming season.
Rang predicts Mills to achieve 30 tackles and five sacks this year, marking a substantial improvement over his rookie year. The young defensive lineman, who spent most of his first season recovering from a torn ACL, has already impressed in training camp, displaying power, activity and disruption. His ability to play multiple defensive-line alignments could be key in utilizing his potential workload.
If Mills reaches the five-sack mark, Seattle's already robust defense would become even more formidable.
