Top 10 Seattle Seahawks

This is an eclectic group.

For a team that has experienced a fair bit of success, the Seahawks haven’t had an abundance of great skill position players. The Seahawks have had some great defensive backs and that is reflected in this list. Some of the greatest players in the history of the franchise are relatively unknown compared to players found on other teams' top 10 lists. It doesn’t mean, however, they are any less great. The best known of the Seahawks, Russell Wilson was traded to the Broncos in the offseason.

Alexander gets the nod over Curt Warner who actually had three All-Pro seasons compared to Alexander’s one. Shaun gets the nod, in part, by scoring 27 rushing TDS in 2005. He added another TD receiving that year. Shaun also led the NFL with 14 rushing TDs in 2001. His rushing line for his eight years in Seattle was 2176 carries, good for 9429 yards and 100 TDs. Alexander also led the NFL in rushing with 1880 yards in 2005. In all, Alexander had five seasons with over 1000 yards rushing with the Seahawks. He was also named to the Pro Bowl three times. In addition, he was the NFL’s MVP for the 2005 season and was named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame’s All 2000s second team.

Before Steve Hutchinson went on to play for the Minnesota Vikings, he made an impact with the Seahawks. Hutchinson spent five years in Seattle and was named to three Pro Bowls and two All-Pro teams during that time. He was also named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame and Pro Football Reference All 2000s first team. The Seahawks had a potent ground game during the early 2000s and Hutchinson was one of the reasons why.

Richard Sherman was such a good cornerback his play almost matched his mouth. Almost. Still, he was an outstanding performer for the Seahawks. In seven seasons in Seattle, Sherman was named to four Pro Bowls and three All-Pro teams. He accounted for 32 interceptions, five forced fumbles, and five recovered fumbles. Sherman peaked in 2014 when he was named #7 on the list of the NFL’s top 100 players for that season. Sherman was a key member of the Seahawks' Super Bowl winner.
