Many believe that the Seahawks could be in the midst of becoming a true dynasty in the sport and star cornerback Richard Sherman is among those who believe that his team is capable of getting stronger.

When asked about his team’s chances of defending their title and getting even better than they were a year ago for the 2014-15 season, Sherman was quick to say he believes that is the case.

“I think it could,” Sherman said during a Wednesday night appearance on NFL Network, via Pro Football Talk. “We’re a lot more experienced. There are a bunch of young guys.

“Last year, you forget, Russell [Wilson] was a second-year quarterback — going into his third year there’s going to be a lot of growth for him. I’m going into my fourth, Earl [Thomas] and Kam [Chancellor] are going into their fifth, Bobby Wagner going into his third, we’ve got some young guys coming up on the D-line that are going to do some things, Mike Bennett and Cliff Avril, another year of experience. Jermaine Kearse, I think is going to have a big year. Guys are elevating their game to another level.”

The start of the NFL regular season is just around the corner, so we will find out just how good the Seahawks chances of improving are in just over a month.
