Building a 20-0 all-time Seahawks team

Largent still easily has the best wide receiver career in Seahawks history, but Smith-Njigba has a good argument that he is coming off of the best single season by a receiver in the history of the franchise. The reigning Offensive Player of the Year finished 2025 with 119 catches for 1,793 yards and 10 touchdowns as Klint Kubiak built the entire offense around him.

WR3: Doug Baldwin

I wish Doug Baldwin and Tyler Lockett could both go here, but Baldwin just edges out his slot counterpart. The physicality and the grit that Baldwin brought to the game as an undersized receiver that was also the top option in the passing game was matched by very few during his time in the league.

TE: Jimmy Graham

There aren’t many great tight ends in Seahawks history, and AJ Barner could be the man that takes this spot in a few years’ time. But for now it’s still Graham, who had his best years with the Saints but was still a very good red zone threat after coming to Seattle.

RT: Sean Locklear

The right side of the line is much more difficult to place than the left side for the Seahawks, but Locklear is the kind of reliable player that Seattle would love to have on the edge of the offensive line. He was a part of the Seahawks team that lost Super Bowl XL to the Pittsburgh Steelers and was a mainstay at the position in the 2000s.

RG: Chris Gray

Gray is another reliable player that made 121 straight starts for the Seahawks from 1998-2006 and would slot in nicely at guard to help round out the offensive line.

C: Max Unger

Unger only played six seasons in Seattle, but he was selected to two Pro Bowls and earned a First Team All-Pro selection during that time. He was also the captain of the offensive line that won Super Bowl XLVIII against the Denver Broncos before eventually netting Jimmy Graham in a trade.

LG: Steve Hutchinson

Hutchinson is a Hall of Fame up front and is the easy choice for this spot despite only playing for the Seahawks for five seasons. During that time, he made two First Team All-Pros and another Second Team as one of the best players in all of football.

LT: Walter Jones

Jones is arguably the best player in Seahawks franchise history. He played the entirety of his 12-year career with Seattle, earning six All-Pro selections and nine Pro Bowl nods during that time. He is one of the best tackles in the history of the game and has earned a spot in the Pro Football Hall of Fame as a result.

EDGE: Jacob Green

Green is the Seahawks’ franchise sack leader with 115.5 of them during his 12-year tenure with the franchise. He was one of the original greats in the Pacific Northwest and is still the standard at defensive end despite all of the great pass rushers that have come after him in Seattle.

DT: Cortez Kennedy

Kennedy played 11 seasons with Seattle and was an absolute beast during the early part of his career. The No. 3 overall pick in the 1990 NFL Draft was the league’s Defensive Player of the Year in just his third season. In the end, Kennedy finished his career with four All-Pro selections and 58 career sacks.

DT: Leonard Williams

Williams hasn’t been in Seattle for long, but it would’ve felt wrong to not have the heart and soul of a dominant, Super Bowl-winning defense on this team. Williams has made the Pro Bowl in each of his two full seasons in Seattle and was an All Pro in 2025.

EDGE: Michael Bennett

Michael Bennett was one of the more underrated players on the Legion of Boom defenses. He was a dominant edge-setter who was a beast against the run and a great pass-rusher as well, finishing his five years in Seattle with 39 sacks and 69 tackles for loss.

LB1: Bobby Wagner

Bobby Wagner is the easy choice as the first linebacker here and will likely hold this spot for many years to come. The leader of the Legion of Boom defenses made eight All-Pro teams in a row and nine overall for the Seahawks before extending that streak to 11 elsewhere. He led the league in tackles three times with the Seahawks and even earned some MVP votes in 2014.

LB2: KJ Wright

There are a lot of good candidates for this spot, but Wagner’s running mate never got enough love for what he did for the Seahawks’ defenses in the 2010s. Wright was a tackle machine and improved in coverage over the course of his career, and he is exactly the kind of reliable force that you want in the middle of the defense next to a star at the position.

CB1: Richard Sherman

Richard Sherman as the CB1 here is no-brainer. He made four All-Pro teams in a row during his peak and picked off 32 passes to go with 99 PBUs during his seven seasons with the Seahawks. His game matched up with his trash talk and he erased half of the field in Pete Carroll’s Cover 3 scheme. And no, don’t try him with any sorry receivers like Crabtree.

CB2: Dave Brown

Brown played for the Seahawks for 11 years and was one of the original defensive standouts for the franchise. During that time, he picked off 50 passes and was a menace for opposing quarterbacks and wide receivers to deal with.

SLOT: Devon Witherspoon

Witherspoon doesn’t have the counting stats that the others on this list do, as he is just entering his fourth season. However, it’s easy to see the star quality that he has. Witherspoon is great both in the nickel and on the outside and has incredible physicality, which has helped the Seattle defense get back to the top of the NFL. He also has three Pro Bowls in three years and earned an All-Pro nod in 2025.

FS: Earl Thomas

Thomas is one of the best free safeties in the modern era of the NFL, and while he didn’t have the career longevity to stack counting stats with some of the other legends of the position, his peak was almost as good as any. Thomas manned the middle third of the Cover 3 better than anybody and earned four consecutive All-Pro nods as the quarterback of the Legion of Boom.

SS: Kenny Easley

Kam Chancellor made this one of the closest battles on the entire list, but Easley’s numbers are hard to turn down. He is a three-time All Pro and won Defensive Player of the Year in 1984 after leading the league with 10 interceptions.

K: Jason Myers

Myers is an easy pick, as he has been rock-solid at kicker for the Seahawks over the last seven years. He has the 19th-best field goal percentage in NFL history entering the 2026 season.

P: Jon Ryan

Ryan was a quality punter during his time with the Seahawks, but he will forever be remembered for his legendary touchdown pass on a fake field goal that turned around the 2014 NFC Championship Game against the Packers.
