There have been a plethora of outstanding players to don the Seattle Seahawks’ colors over the years, but who are the 30 all-time greats to call the Emerald City home?

As a franchise, the Seattle Seahawks are relatively young compared to many of the NFL’s other clubs. While that may be the case, the most recent addition to the NFC West has still seen plenty of outstanding talent walk through its doors in the last 42 years.

In hopes of highlighting some of the biggest and brightest stars to ever call Seattle home, we’ve decided to put together this list of the greatest Seahawks players of all-time. More specifically, we’ll be counting down the 30 best players who’ve had the opportunity to be cheered on by the 12s.

Many of these names you’ll recognize, especially since the list includes several players who are still on the team or are at least on an NFL roster. Others, however, go as far back as the franchise’s beginnings, when it became an expansion team back in 1976. Either way, there should be at least a few familiar faces among the crowd.

Now keep in mind that this is a subjective list — my rankings are only meant to reflect my opinions, not yours. Don’t expect every spot to match perfectly with who you believe fits there.

Glad we got that all squared away. So without further ado, let’s dive right into my rankings of the 30 greatest Seahawks players in franchise history.
