Best: Seattle Seahawks – Steve Largent
Steve Largent’s Hall of Fame career never got off the ground. He was slated to be cut by the Oilers, who had drafted him just months prior. Fortunately, he was traded to the expansion Seattle Seahawks, who’s offensive coordinator had been Largent’s coordinator in college. Largent was at home almost immediately. He would go on to set NFL receiving records for the Seahawks and became the first Seahawk ever selected to the Pro Bowl and the first to have their number retired by the franchise.
Worst: Seattle Seahawks – Brian Bosworth
Linebacker Brian Bosworth drew a lot of attention during his playing days at the University of Oklahoma. Aside from being an excellent player on the field (Bosworth finished fourth in Heisman voting in his senior year), his off-the-field persona was larger than life. He was the first pick in the 1987 NFL Supplemental Draft and offered what was the biggest rookie contract at the time. But Bosworth only played 24 games in three seasons and totaled just four career sacks. After a few injury-plagued seasons, “The Boz” retired due to a nagging shoulder injury.
