Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023 revision of our top 50 Seattle Seahawks.

As for all of our top 50 players in football, we look at the following:

1.  Advanced Statistics.

2.  Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, the Seahawks had a winning 9-8 record, but that was not enough to get them into the playoffs.  The 2023 season saw two elevations and one new entrant.

As always, we present our top five, which saw a change at number two:

1. Russell Wilson
2. Bobby Wagner
3. Steve Largent
4. Walter Jones
5. Cortez Kennedy 

You can find the entire list here.

Wagner, who returned for one season in 2023, did more than enough to take over the second spot.

Wide Receiver Tyler Lockett went up three spots to #26.

The only new entry is Wide Receiver D.K. Metcalf, who debuts at #47.

We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.

The 2023 National Football League Season begin tonight, and we are ready with our revised list of the top 150 active (or hoping to be) players based on their existing Hall of Fame resume.

This is our fourth pre-season monitor, and you can find it all here.

A quick synopsis shows that we have the following:

19 Quarterbacks are ranked, including a brand new number one overall, Aaron Rodgers, now of the New York Jets. Kansas City’s Patrick Mahomes rocketed to #10 and Russell Wilson of the Denver Broncos regresses to #11.

Only 12 Running Backs are ranked, with no player in the top 25 overall. The surprising top player at this position is Alvin Kamara of New Orleans.

Wide Receivers are more represented with 21 on the list. Julio Jones is the only one in the top ten (we still rank Free Agents who we think have a shot to return) with three others in (#18 Tyreek Hill, #20 DeAndre Hopkins and #24 Davante Adams) in the top 25.

Only 5 Tight Ends are ranked with Travis Kelce at #7.

22 Offensive Lineman are on the list, including three players in the top ten (#6 Zack Martin, #8 Trent Williams and #9 Jason Peters). There are two other players in the top 25 with Jason Kelce (#12) and Tyron Smith (#16).

On the defensive side, there are 23 Defensive Lineman, led by the Rams’ Aaron Donald, who is ranked #2 overall. Other Defensive Lineman in the top 25 are #17 Cameron Jordan, #19 Calais Campbell and #25 Ndamukong Suh.

With the Linebackers, we have the only position where there are two in the top five, which are Seattle’s Bobby Wagner and Buffalo’s Von Miller who are #3 and #4 respectively. There are 19 overall, and two more in the top 25, #14 Khalil Mack and #15 T.J. Watt.

There are 13 Cornerbacks who are ranked, led by Patrick Peterson of the Steelers at #13. There is one other Cornerback in the top 25 with Jalen Ramsey at #23.

At the Safety position, there are 12 who are ranked, but it takes you all the way to #63 (Minkah Fitzpatrick) before we see our first one.

There are five Special Teams players, led by Ravens Place Kicker, Justin Tucker at #23.

As always, we thank you for your support of the site and look for more improvements, content and lists in the future.

Yes, we know that this is taking a while!

As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top 50 Seattle Seahawks.

As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following:

1. Advanced Statistics.

2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.

3. Playoff accomplishments.

4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

Last year, Seattle shocked the NFL by making it to the playoffs in a year that they were supposed to be in full rebuilding mode. There were no new entrants in the Top 50, and only one elevation based on the 2022 Season.

As always, we present our top five, which was not affected by the last season:

1. Russell Wilson

2. Steve Largent

3. Bobby Wagner

4. Walter Jones

5. Cortez Kennedy

You can find the entire list here.

The only change was Wide Receiver, Tyler Lockett, who advanced three spots to #29.

We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.

2. Bobby Wagner

Bobby Wagner arrived in Seattle a round ahead of Quarterback, Russell Wilson, and both of them can take a lot of credit for taking the Seahawks to the promised land.

2023 Pre-Season Rank #3, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #6, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #10, 2020 Pre-Season Rank #18.

How good did Bobby Wagner look in a Seahawks uniform last year?

After ten seasons in Seattle, where he was an All-Decade, six-time First Team All-Pro, and Super Bowl champion, Wagner played for the Rams in 2022 before returning to the Seahawks in 2023, where he collected his ninth Pro Bowl Selection.  Wagner shows no signs of age and last year, he led the NFL in Combined Tackles for the third time, but can he do that for his new team in Washington? 

Of note, if Wagner gets 100 Combined Tackles again (and he has never not been able to do that), he will move up past Hall of Famers Derrick Brooks and Zach Thomas, and former Atlanta Falcon, Jessie Tuggle for fourth overall.  142 Combined Tackles, brings him to third place, surpassing Junior Seau.

Even if Wagner never registers another Tackle, his Hall of Fame case is already built.
