Seattle Seahawks: 30 greatest players in franchise history
36. . WR. (1976-89). Steve Largent. 2. player
Considered by many to be the greatest Seahawk of all-time, I have the historic receiver coming in at a very close second. You could even say that he’s worthy of a 1B designation, but let’s just go with No. 2 for simplicity’s sake.
When Largent’s NFL career came to a close, he owned nearly every receiving record in the book. Not only does he have almost twice as many receiving yards as any Seahawk in history, but he capped his playing days off with a monstrous 100 touchdown receptions, unprecedented production in that era of football.
Put simply, the man was unstoppable. No pass was too difficult for him to catch. There’s a reason he earned the nickname Yoda, and it wasn’t his height.
Largent was the face of the Seahawks franchise, and the first true superstar the franchise ever had. He was the model of consistency, as he still holds team records for most games played (197) and longest streak of games with at least one catch (177).
He may not have received the No. 1 spot this time around, but he certainly has a strong argument for it.
