We could spend all day just naming old Seahawks running backs. So many great players have come through Seattle over the years. Not all of them have been superstars like Marshawn Lynch and Shaun Alexander, though. The team has also had a lot of underrated rushers who may hever have made a Pro Bowl roster but ran hard and became fan favorites as a result.
One great example is former Seahawks running back Mike Davis, who just announced his retirement from the NFL yesterday in a birthday post on Elon’s social contagion site.
As I turn 31 today, I sit back and look on my NFL career and how thankful I am to be apart of a brotherhood. This game has allowed me to make a lot of friends and memories. I’m grateful for every organization in NFL. With that being said I’m retiring! ✌🏾

Davis originally came into the league as a fourth-round pick by the San Francisco 49ers in the 2015 NFL draft. He spent two years in San Francisco, then joined the Seahawks for the 2017 season. He wound up playing 21 games in Seattle over the next two seasons, then Davis moved on and played for several more teams. He was out of the league this past season.
Later on, Davis came back and thanked people for the love.
Thank you everyone for the love. 🥹 not gonna lie I didn’t expect to get this much love . Blessed
