The opening video showed a younger Kenny Easley, in his Seattle Seahawks prime, sitting for an interview.
What he said embodied everything about his enforcing play.
“I’m vicious,” Easley says. “No doubt about it. I play the game in a vicious manner.”
So vicious that he now has his No. 45 immortalized as it hangs from the rafters at CenturyLink Field.
The Pro Football Hall of Famer was honored during halftime of the Seahawks’ game Sunday against the Indianapolis Colts. His No. 45 hangs next to 80, 12, 96 and 71, coming 30 years after Easley last wore a Seahawks helmet.
