5. OT Duane Brown
Yes, Brown has only played three-and-a-half seasons in Seattle, a relatively short time for a player this high on the list, but in that time he has already made a case for being one of the best tackles in franchise history not named Walter Jones. A five-time Pro Bowler, including one with Seattle, Brown has given the Seahawks great play at one of the sport's most important positions, and showed no signs of slowing down in 2020 at the age 35. In addition to providing standout play at left tackle, Brown has also been a strong leader in the locker room and an outspoken advocate for racial justice.
4. Head Coach Mike Holmgren
It's not common, but occasionally coaches get traded too, and when the Seahawks hired Holmgren after the 1998 season, they sent a second-round pick to the Packers because Holmgren was still under contract with Green Bay at the time. While second-round picks are valuable, that was a small price to pay for a coach who would take the Seahawks to new heights, leading Seattle to six postseason berths, five division titles, and most notably, the first Super Bowl appearance in franchise history.
T-2. RB Marshawn Lynch & QB Matt Hasselbeck
It's nearly impossible to pick between these two franchise icons, so I'll take the easy way out and call it a tie.
On one hand, Hasselbeck's Seahawks career was longer, and he plays the more important position, but on the other hand, Lynch made more Pro Bowls as a Seahawks (four to Hasselbeck's three), was a first-team All-Pro in 2012, and was a tone-setter for the best teams in franchise history.
Hasselbeck, who, as mentioned earlier, was acquired 20 years ago today, gave Holmgren the franchise quarterback he coveted, and was a big reason why the Seahawks won four straight division titles from 2004-2007, including a 13-3 season in 2005 that saw Seattle advance to the Super Bowl for the first time.
Lynch, meanwhile, arrived in a midseason trade during Carroll and Schneider's first season after months of Carroll pestering Schneider to try to make the deal happen with Buffalo. In the end the Seahawks got Lynch for only a 2011 fourth-round pick and a 2012 fifth-rounder, and Lynch went on to become a franchise icon and a player who helped define the attitude of those teams early in the Carroll/Schneider era. In addition to being responsible for one of the best runs in franchise history, some of the most memorable press conferences, and some of the most unique touchdown celebrations, Lynch also was one of the NFL's most dominant backs in the 2010s, rushing for more than 1,200 yards and double-digit touchdowns for four straight seasons from 2011-2014.
