First Seahawk to wear #30 was RB Oliver Ross. He was originally a 1973 16th round pick of the Broncos. 1976 with the Seahawks was his final season. I couldn’t find an image of him in a Seahawks uniform.

The first Seahawk to wear #29 was DB Al Matthews, a 1970 2nd round pick of Green Bay out of Texas A&I. He played in the 1976 season for the Seahawks. Sadly he just died this past March at the age of 77.

Couldn’t find any action shots of him in a Seahawks uniform but here’s a really cool one of him tackling Largent.




Lyle Blackwood was the first Seahawk to wear #28. He was drafted by Denver in the 9th round of the 1973 draft. He was with the Seahawks for the 1976 season.
Blackwood's best season was in 1977, when he intercepted 10 passes for the Baltimore Colts. He later became known for teaming alongside his brother, Glenn Blackwood with the Miami Dolphins as part of the notorious "Killer B's" defense.

In 1977 Beamon scored his only NFL touchdown, returning a blocked punt in a Seahawks home game against the Baltimore Colts. He played for the Seahawks in 1977-1979.

In both the 1978 and 1979 seasons he was the special teams captain for the Seahawks.
