Pro Football Focus has now released half of their top-101 players of the last decade, and six Seattle Seahawks have already found themselves represented.
Numbers 75-101 were released on Monday, with Doug Baldwin and Greg Olsen coming in at 77 and 81, respectively. Now, 50-74 have been released and four more Seahawks – Kam Chancellor, Duane Brown, Brandon Marshall and Michael Bennett – have been named to the list.
At No. 55, Chancellor is the first member of Seattle’s famed Legion of Boom to make the list, although Richard Sherman and Earl Thomas are certainly going to be on it as well. His career was cut short by injuries, but Bam Bam brought the boom as a hard-hitting strong safety, and was a four-time Pro Bowler.
The Seahawks pulled off a midseason trade in 2017 to acquire Brown from the Texans, and although he did most of his work in Houston he has been an excellent addition to Seattle’s offensive line as a veteran team leader and a stout run blocker at the left tackle spot, certainly helping to earn him his spot on this list at No. 58 overall.
Marshall spent a half season with the Seahawks in 2018 before getting released, but his leadership during training camp did not go unnoticed. A stellar career with the Bears and Broncos prior to that is what nets him a spot on this list at No. 61 overall.
Bennett comes in at No. 74 after a stellar career in Tampa Bay and Seattle and then a few scattered years with Dallas, Philadelphia and New England. Now a free agent, Bennett recorded 6.5 sacks last year and still has enough juice to help a team in need of some pass rush even in his age 35 season.
