Steve Largent
Career Stats: 200 games played (197 starts), 819 receptions, 13,089 yards, 100 TD
Largent had a successful political career in the US House of Representatives before becoming a great receiver for the Seattle Seahawks. Teams looked for certain metrics in a receiver, but Largent lacked them. Although he wasn’t particularly tall, swift, or strong, he had very sure hands and played with a lot of assurance. Before Jerry Rice, Largent set records for lifetime receptions, receiving yards, and touchdowns, making him the ideal wide receiver. He earned the hearts of a passionate Seattle fan base with his tough play and sticky hands.
