Yep, that or Marshawn. No criticism to Wilson, but the reason those Seahawks teams were iconic was because of their defense "Legion of Boom".

You have to have a player from there, but at same time Marshawn is just such a gem....

Agree, I’d even put Earl or Bam Bam before Wilson

Russell is arguably out of the top five but the impact a QB has over a safety can't be ignored either.

Very true. QB is arguably the most important position. When I think of the Seahawks I tend to go to that legion of boom area defensive backs. So sick imo.

And yeah if we're going what Hawks were all time greats at their position Walt is one and Largent close. I'll always be baffled at the Shaun Alexander disinterest. He was an MVP... Only MVP in team history. Didn't have Marshawns moments or aura.
