With Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor getting injured in 2016, the Legion of Boom wasn’t at its best ... Now, all the key elements are back in place
First impressions turned into lasting memories for Kris Richard as he met each of the three players who would become not only the founding members of the Legion of Boom, but the ones who will define it forever.
Arriving first was free safety Earl Thomas, who on April 23, 2010, walked into the VMAC in Renton a day after the Seahawks drafted him with the 14th overall choice. Thomas walked in “like he already owned the place,’’ recalls Richard, who then was in his first year as Seattle’s assistant defensive-backs coach and now is defensive coordinator.
