Five years ago, when the world was shut down by a pandemic and the NFL offseason was particularly quiet, we decided here at Seahawks.com to undertake the fun but rather unimportant task of choosing the best player in team history to wear every jersey number. And now, with the Seahawks celebrating their 50th season in franchise history, we've decided to refresh that list. Most of the numbers haven't changed, but several have with players like Devon Witherspoon, Jaxon Smith Njigba, DK Metcalf, Geno Smith and Quandre Diggs replacing Seahawks Legends who were on the list five years earlier.
Earlier this offseason, the Seahawks named the Top 50 Players in franchise history, and as one might expect, those players all made this list as well, with the exception of a couple of number that were worn by multiple Top 50 players like 72 (Joe Nash and Michael Bennett) and 89 (Doug Baldwin and Brian Blades).
So far we've covered numbers 1-20, 21-40 and 41-60 on this far-from-definitive list, and today we look at numbers 61-80. Check back Friday when we wrap things up with numbers 81-99.
