26. Brian Blades

An All-Rookie after being taken in the Second Round in 1988, Brian Blades would play his entire career with the Seattle Seahawks.

The former Miami Hurricane would then go on to have an up and down career over his 156-game run in the NFL.  Blades was a Pro Bowl Selection in 1989, and that year and in three others, he would reach 1,000 Yards, though he never hit 1,100.   Blades played until 1998, accumulating a nice total of 7,620 Receiving Yards, but he only reached the end zone 34 times, which was not spectacular considering his high amount of touches.
