gold star for USAHOF

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.

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

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.

A two-time National Champion and All-American at the University of Miami, Cortez Kennedy was an All-Rookie in a career spent entirely with the Seattle Seahawks.

It is a very sad day for the National Football League and specifically the Seattle Seahawks.

Former Defensive Tackle Cortez Kennedy passed away today at the age of 48.  There is no cause of death listed at this time.

A ferocious run-stopper, Kennedy was the third overall pick out of the University of Miami.  In a professional career that was spent entirely with the Seattle Seahawks, Kennedy was a seven time Pro Bowl Selection and a three time First Team All Pro, his best season coming in 1992 where he was named the Defensive Player of the Year.  He would record 58 career Sacks.

Kennedy was inducted into the Seattle Seahawks Ring of Honor and would be inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2012.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the friends and family of Cortez Kennedy at this time.
