What a dominant player who's career was cut short due to injuries and medical mis-management (in my opinion). May #45 hang in the stadium rafters forever.
Wow. I never got to watch him play, but one of my favorite things to do when I have the time is youtube highlights of the earlier days of the seahawks and I loved watching Kenny's highlights.. Rest in Peace Enforcer, your soul will never be forgotten in seahawks lore..
Phenomenal and fearsome player. As a non-Seahawks fan there were only 2 Seahawks players that seemed to matter during the 1980s...and Easley was 1 of them. I'm very sad to hear of his passing. I remember him best as being part of the iconic 'NFL Crunch Course' video.
Kenny Easley, one of the greatest players in Seahawks history, died Friday at the age of 66.

Saw this earlier today. So sad to hear. He was so much fun to watch play the game. I’m glad he got into the hall while he was still alive. It really would have been a tragedy had he not.
Sad to hear this news. Kenny is my all time favorite Seahawk. That secondary of Easley, Harris, Brown, and Simpson was just incredible. They ware 30 years prior to LOB. RIP Kenny Easley.
Seattle has lost several legendary sports figures this year - Gus Williams, Lenny Wilkens, and Kenny Easley.
Damn, none of those guys lived very long. Dave Brown passed away, what, twenty years ago? His wife and my mom worked for the same company. She was a super pretty lady, and I was always struck by the fact that back then they didn’t make much money, as evidenced by the fact his wife worked as a secretary.
It’s all the goddamn Advil they gave him over the years that cost him his health. Absolute beast on the field and still made the HOF with so few years played. Maybe would’ve been considered the best ever if he got to play a full career.
Never saw him play, but I got the impression he would have been dominant in any era. Sounded like a man before his time, who would have been even better now with our improvements in sports medicine.
