2021 Pre-Season Rank #119

Wirfs was the highest drafted Offensive Lineman in the 2020 Draft, and there has been no question that he has thus far met expetations. The RIght Tackle has a higher AV/G than the MPA, and we predict that he will be one of the top three gains on next year's list.

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-2021 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, the Seahawks finished last in their division with a 7-10 record and enter 2022 in rebuilding mode.  Despite this, there is one new entrant in the top 50, and movement on the list, including the top five.

As always, we present our top five:

1. Russell Wilson

2. Steve Largent

3. Bobby Wagner

4. Walter Jones

5. Cortez Kennedy

You can find the entire list here.

Wagner moved up one spot to number 3, but he is now a Los Angeles Ram, meaning that he cannot overtake Largent or his also-departed former teammate, Russell Wilson, who begins this season in Denver.

Wide Receiver, Tyler Lockett, who eclipsed 10,000 All-Purpose Yards last year, advanced 10 spots to #31.

Offensive Lineman, Duane Brown, who signed with the New York Jets in the off-season debuts at #45.

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

Andrej Sekara

Andrej Sekara enjoyed a long career in the NHL, with the first half appearing as a Buffalo Sabre, but he had greater success with other teams after he left Western New York.

The Defenceman was traded to Carolina in 2013, and he had his best season offensively with a personal best of 44 Points.  After a brief stay in Los Angeles, Sekara had back-to-back 30-plus Point years, but injuries kept him from having an entire season again, and he spent his last four years in a veteran role on lower pairings as a Dallas Star. 

A very clean player, Sekara only had 212 Penalty Minutes over a 15-year career but only received Lady Byng votes once. Sekara only appeared in the playoffs four times but did succeed in other tournaments, namely as a member of Team Europe in the 2016 World Cup of Hockey.

Alexander Semin

Alexander Semin was a First Round Pick of the Washington Capitals in 2002, making the team a year later, but his NHL progress was delayed by having to serve two years in the Russian Army.

Semin returned and was a productive wing for the Caps, producing three 70-Point seasons for the club, peaking with an 84-Point year in 2009/10, where he was seventh in Goals with 40.  After seven years in Washington, Semin signed with the Carolina Hurricanes, playing three years there before one year in Montreal.

Following the 2015/16 Season, Semin returned home to Russia, where he played for six years before retiring.  While representing Russia, Semin won four medals in the World Hockey Championships; 2 Gold, 1 Silver, and 1 Bronze.

He scored 517 Points in the NHL, 408 of them as a Capital.
