The Seahawks have had as many different home stadiums as full-time starting left tackles since 1997 — three of each.
Two of those three left tackles have the most starts at that position in team history — Walter Jones, with 180 from 1997-2008 and Russell Okung with 72 from 2010-15. Those two — each taken among the top six overall picks in the draft — sandwiched the one-year reign of Sean Locklear in 2009.
But with Jones’ number now hanging from the rafters at CenturyLink Field and Okung now in Denver after signing with the Broncos as a free agent, it’s Bradley Sowell’s turn to try to provide protection for Russell Wilson’s blind side while laying a permanent foundation at left tackle.
