Following his good rookie campaign, the Defensive Tackle would rattle off six straight Pro Bowls and would have two more after that. From 1992 to 1994, Kennedy was a First Team All-Pro, and in '92, despite the Seahawks finishing 2-14, he was so dominant that he would win the Defensive MVP on the strength of a 14-Sack and 92-Tackle year.
Kennedy would be named to the 1990s All-Decade Team, and he would later be elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2012.
