The Legion of Boom had become synonymous with the Seattle Seahawks, and the names of the members of the LoB were known by fans across the country. From the group’s formation in the early years of the Pete Carroll era in Seattle, through Super Bowl XLVIII and the team’s first Lombardi trophy and up until 2017 the unit was a force to be reckoned with.
Everything has changed in the past couple of seasons, however.
And by everything, I really mean everyone.
When the 2013 version of the team took the field for Super Bowl XLVIII, the defensive backs for the team were:
- Cornerback Richard Sherman
- Cornerback Byron Maxwell
- Cornerback Jeremy Lane
- Cornerback Walter Thurmond
- Strong safety DeShawn Shead
And of course cornerback Brandon Browner, who had been suspended by the league for failing a drug test.
