We’re all Seattle Seahawks followers, however we’re additionally NFL followers, and I’m certain all of you will have gamers you liked watching rising up (and even proper now) who by no means performed in a Seahawks uniform. For this week’s dialogue, we’re going to reminisce about a few of our favourite non-Seahawks gamers over time.
I’ll provide you with one every from offense, protection, and particular groups to get issues rolling.
On offense there’s one receiver whom I hope reaches the Professional Soccer Corridor of Fame as a result of he was that rattling good.

Steve Smith Sr is twelfth all-time in profession receptions at 1,031, and that’s with a misplaced season in 2004 to harm, and an Achilles harm in 2015 that ended that season on the midway mark. He’s the one receiver who’s top-15 all-time in NFL catches and shorter than 6’0 tall. At simply 5’9 and 190 kilos he performed like somebody a lot larger, and I’ve all the time beloved his competitiveness to go together with his excellent receiving expertise.
Defensively I’ve to go along with Ed Reed. There best ball-hawk I’ve ever seen and I doubt we see anybody higher than him in our lifetimes. Past the enjoyment of watching the San Francisco 49ers shedding the Tremendous Bowl to the Baltimore Ravens, it was so superior seeing Reed lastly get his championship ring simply as he was on the draw back of his profession. He stays the one participant in NFL historical past to have a number of touchdowns off interceptions, fumbles, blocked punts, and punt returns.
Invoice Belichick in all probability nonetheless marvels at this specific interception off of Peyton Manning, which he insists is the best play he’s ever seen a free security make.
Reed might really do all of it at an elite degree. Nice in move protection, nice towards the run, terrific instincts, nice tackler, harmful blitzer, and simply an all-around soccer genius. He’s my primary defensive participant of all-time, with all due respect to your entire Legion of Increase. I can solely think about how giddy Pete Carroll might’ve been if he ever had a first-rate Ed Reed… and he coached Troy Polamalu in school!
On particular groups, it’s too simple to say Devin Hester. He’s the best return man of all-time and in addition he performed for the Seahawks for about 10 minutes so I’ve dominated him out of competition. Previous Hester was Dante Corridor, aka “The X Issue.” Once I was dwelling in Las Vegas I might hope we might get Kansas Metropolis Chiefs video games virtually fully due to Dante, who was the premier return specialist earlier than Hester and in addition a risk as a large receiver. His prime was brief however it was electrifying, and this juke is likely one of the sickest you’ll ever see.
