The Pro Football Hall of Fame’s Class of 2024 has reached the semifinal stage, and there’s a former Seattle Seahawks star running back who’s in the mix.
No, it’s not Shaun Alexander, who didn’t get past the initial list of nominees despite being a former league MVP. You can only wonder what would’ve happened if Seattle didn’t lose Steve Hutchinson Shaun didn’t get injured in 2006, sending his career into a sharp decline.
Ricky Watters, Alexander’s predecessor, is a semifinalist for a fourth consecutive year. He’s one of just 31 running backs in NFL history to amass 10,000 rushing yards, having ended his career with 10,643.
