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 pre-2021 revision of our top 50 Seattle Seahawks of all-time.

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 NFL. 

3.  Playoff accomplishments.

4.  Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.

This is our first revision after our inaugural unveiling, with only three elevations, though it reflects twice in our top five.  There are no new entries.

As always, we present our top five here.

1. Russell Wilson

2. Walter Jones

3. Steve Largent

4. Bobby Wagner

5. Cortez Kennedy

You can find the entire list here.

Wilson moved up from #3, surpassing Jones and Largent.  We now consider the Quarterback the best Seahawk of all-time.  Wagner was #5 on our last list, and passed fellow defensive star, Kennedy.

Wide Receiver, Tyler Lockett climbed up three spots to #42.

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

Mark Eaton, former NBA All-Star, passed away at age 64.  He went out for a bike ride last night but did not return home.  It is unavailable at this time as to specifically what caused his death.

Eaton stood at 7’ 4”, and joined the Utah Jazz after being taken with the 72nd Overall Pick in the NBA Draft.  Playing his college ball at UCLA, Eaton used his size to be a defensive force, leading the league in Blocks per Game four times, and was a five-time All-Defensive Selection.  In the 1984-85 and 1988-89 season, Eaton was named the Defensive Player of the Year, and in the latter year was also an All-Star.

He played his entire pro career with the Jazz, retiring after the 1992-93 Season, and had career averages of 6.0 Points, 7.9 Rebounds and 3.5 Blocks per Game.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to extend our condolences to the fans, friends and family of Mark Eaton.

Adam Vinatieri announced that he is retiring from the National Football League.

Playing his college ball at South Dakota State, Vinatieri began his pro career with the Amsterdam Admirals of the World League of American Football.  The New England Patriots signed him after and in 1996, he was officially a National Football League player.

New England was a team on the rise and if we are to agree that New England has been the best team in the last 20 years, it was Vinatieri’s kick in the snow that began the dynasty.  Against the Oakland Raiders in the playoffs, Vinatieri booted a 45 Yard Field Goal in a blizzard to send the game in Overtime, which he would win for them with a 23 Yard FG.  The Patriots would then beat the St. Louis Rams in Super Bowl XXXVI, with Vinatieri again kicking the winning Field Goal, this time from 48 Yards out.  He would go to two Pro Bowls and earn two First Team All-Pro Selections as a Patriot, and would also win two more Super Bowls.

Vinatieri signed with the Indianapolis Colts in 2006 and he would win his fourth Super Bowl in his debut season in the Hoosier State.  He played for Indianapolis until 2019, and leaves the game as the all-time leader in Points (2,673) and Field Goals (599).

Prior to the season, we had Vinatieri at #6 on our active player Hall of Fame monitor.  Place Kickers (and other special teamers for that matter) generally have a tough road to get into the Pro Football Hall of Fame, but Vinatieri is considered by most to be Canton bound.  He had the longevity, the Super Bowls, the all-time records and the clutch kicks. He is getting into the Hall and the only question is on what ballot.  As he did not play last year, he will be officially eligible in 2025.

We here at Notinhalloffame.com would like to wish Adam Vinatieri the best in his post-playing career.
