Seahawks finish with 11 players on PFF’s top-101 of the decade

Legion of Boom members Richard Sherman (4) and Earl Thomas (20) give the Seattle seahawks 11 players on PFF’s top-101 of the last decade.

Pro Football Focus completed their list of the top-101 players from the last decade, and the Seattle Seahawks had 11 players represented.

The top-25 were released on Thursday and two key pieces of the Legion of Boom; Richard Sherman (No. 4) and Earl Thomas (No. 20) rounded out Seattle’s representatives.

Sherman joined the Seahawks in 2011, and immediately went to work cementing himself as the best zone cornerback in the game. He is a five-time Pro Bowler and a three-time All-Pro, and made perhaps the most famous play in franchise history to send the Seahawks to the Super Bowl in the 2013 NFC Championship game.

Sherman gets recognized behind just Tom Brady, Aaron Donald and Drew Brees in the last decade – not bad for the 154th pick of the 2011 NFL draft.

Thomas was the quietest of the Legion of Boom, but he was the engine that made the machine work. Roaming the cover-3 high safety role, Thomas was an absolute menace to opposing quarterbacks. A seven time Pro Bowler, ET is among the best safeties to ever play the game, and while his departure from the Seahawks was a bitter one, he will forever be one of the best in franchise history.

Here are all the Seahawks who made the list:

4 – Sherman

20 – Thomas

29 – Marshawn Lynch

33 – Russell Wilson

39 – Bobby Wagner

55 – Kam Chancellor

58 – Duane Brown

61 – Brandon Marshall

74 – Michael Bennett

77 – Doug Baldwin

81 – Greg Olsen
