Every team in the league has made their mark in some capacity to the story of the NFL, and the Seattle Seahawks made theirs loud and clear. The Legion of Boom defense from the early-to-mid 2010’s are already being remembered as one of the greatest defenses in the history of the sport, with the 2013 unit arguably No. 1 all time.
K.J. Wright, one of the more unheralded – yet crucial – members of the LOB recently went on Good Morning Football to do what every sports show loves: ranking players. Wright took the time to rank his Top 5 LOB members, and it’s not all too surprising.
Yes… we made @KJ_WRIGHT34 rank his friends 🤐

Naturally, Kam Chancellor takes the top spot. No surprise there. Chancellor brought the BOOM to Legion and made opposing receivers suffer as a result.

Of course, Wright’s running mate, Bobby Wagner, had to make the list. But what might be most interesting is seeing defensive lineman Brandon Mebane on the Top 5. Defensive linemen rarely get the credit they deserve but they can be the most disruptive. Wright has been open about discussing how much impact they have on a linebackers job as they eat up offensive linemen blocks.
What do you think, dear reader? Do you agree with Wright’s list, or is there perhaps someone else you think should have made it?
