3. 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.

Playing at Middle Linebacker, the former Utah State Ute, was a force in the interior tackling anyone who got in his way.  Wagner was an All-Rookie, and in 2014, he began an eight-year streak of Pro Bowl appearances with five of those seasons earning him First Team All-Pro honors.  The former WAC Defensive Player of the Year has yet to have a year where he had less than 100 tackles, and in both 2016 and 2019, he led the NFL in Combined Tackles.  Wagner was a vital cog in Seattle's back-to-back Super Bowl appearances, and he recorded ten tackles in their win at Super Bowl.

The rebuilding Seahawks released Wagner after the 2021 Season, despite him still being one of the top interior Linebackers in the game.  Wagner left Seattle with 1,383 Tackles and 22.5 Sacks, and the reputation as one of the greatest defensive players in franchise history.
