The NFL and the Pro Football Hall of Fame announced that 52 players and two coaches have been selected to the 2010’s All-Decade team – and five of them were members of the Seattle Seahawks.
Two key pieces of the Legion of Boom, safety Earl Thomas and cornerback Richard Sherman, made the defensive squad alongside linebacker Bobby Wagner. They were joined by running back Marshawn Lynch on offense, as well as coach Pete Carroll, who was the second coach alongside New England’s Bill Belichick.
Notably absent is Russell Wilson, who was passed over in favor of Aaron Rodgers and Tom Brady at the quarterback position, as well as safety Kam Chancellor, the third key member of the LOB who lost out to Eric Berry and Eric Weddle for the chance to be alongside Thomas once again.
Wagner, Thomas, Sherman, Lynch and Carroll are all no doubt deserving of this honor, having been members of the teams that went to back-to-back Super Bowls in the early part of the decade.
Now, as the clock turns to a new decade, the Seahawks will hope that many of their current young stars will make their mark in the 2020’s.
