Five Best Running Backs in the History of the Seahawks
By Lee Vowell
4. Chris Warren
Warren is the Seahawks’ second all-time leading rusher (and was first when he retired). A lot of his production with Seattle is tied up in the four consecutive seasons between 1992-95. From 1993 to 1995 Warren made the Pro Bowl each season.
In 1994, Warren ran for 1,545 yards, averaging a bit over 96 yards-per-game. In 1995, he scored 15 touchdowns rushing.
Warren, though, was unlucky enough to never make a playoff game when he was with the Seahawks. He, like Smith, played behind a porous offensive line. His 6,706 yards with Seattle would have been much more had he played behind the same line that Shaun Alexander ran behind, for instance. (And this is no offense to Alexander.)
Warren was simply a good player on mostly bad Seahawks teams. But a pretty good running back anyway.
