Earlier this month the College Football Hall of Fame announced 78 players from the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) as finalists for the Class of 2024, and there are a couple of Seattle Seahawks greats on the list. Unlike other times when we ironically use “legends” to describe players who were definitely not legends, this is a genuine use of the word!
First up is left guard Steve Hutchinson, who’s already in the Pro Football Hall of Fame after his outstanding years with Seattle and (infamously, among Seahawks fans) the Minnesota Vikings. He was a first-round pick by the Seahawks back in 2001 after starring at Michigan and getting all the accolades (and a national title).
