Seahawks on the list (I may have missed some so let me know if I did and I’ll add to the list but this is what I saw)

Running Backs

Ricky Watters
Shaun Alexander
Marshawn Lynch

Wide Receiver

Brandon Marshall

Tight End

Zach Miller
Greg Olsen

Defensive Back
Kam Chancellor
Earl Thomas

 

[LeveeBreak]

Would love to see Kam get in and if the players voted he would be. Dude has mass respect around the league.
Earl would have been a lock before the head case stuff.
IMO, Lynch should be a lock based on rep alone, but not sure he has the #'s.
Alexander is opposite, has the #'s but not the rep.
Ricky should get in because I said so.

Ricky has the numbers, as well as a lights-out Super Bowl performance. He should’ve been in long ago and would be if not for the ‘for who, for what?’ Press conference.

 

[halps80]

Marshawn should get in. His numbers are close, then add the most famous run in modern NFL history (which sealed one of the biggest playoff upsets ever) and a few others that were as good, and cap it with a personality that continues to make him a superstar.

 

[GemCity]

BeastMode!! Let that man in.

I’d love to see Kam get in too.

Greg Olsen should be on the Wall-o-Shame.

Totally agree, but I wouldn't be surprised if the Saints upset almost holds him back. The NFL/Media establishment isn't very fond of being made to look like the fools they are and that's exactly what we went and did. Then you add to it Marshawn's proverbial middle finger to the media and there you have it. He's going to have to wait, which is a shame.

I agree with some of the stuff already said. My two cents are...

--ET should be a certain HOFer in my book. He was one of the very best at his position for a number of years. That's the standard more than anything else for the HOF in my eyes

--Couldn't agree more with what LeveeBreak said about Kam. The players who played against Kam know what a scary and impactful player he was. He's just overshadowed by ET, Sherman, and Wagner on that defense, almost an afterthought to many outside observers, which is a shame

--I think Lynch eventually gets in. He's got just enough career numbers for consideration, but more importantly for him, he was a dominant player at his position for a decent span of years at a position with a very short shelf life

--Yeah, SA doesn't have the national "rep" as being as being one of the best players at his position during his time in the league, in spite of putting up some impressive numbers for a good stretch of years

The players who played against Kam know what a scary and impactful player he was.

The players that played with him were scared of him also because he would get on their ass.

Give me Kam, Shawn and Shaun!

 

[Wsumatt1982]

Kam is my favorite player of all time. I hope he gets in. They changed rules because of him, at least heavily influenced by him and that alone should get him in. He was never dirty but would hit so hard he changed the game and the way it's now played.

Earl was crazy at the end but deserves it.

marshawn, watters and alexander can all go in but think only one will. If I had to guess it would be Alexander and I'm cool with that.

Greg Olsen should go in. What he did as a Panther was on another level for so long.

Agreed! Kam should be in all day every day.

He may be overshadowed by some of his "bigger name" teammates - but that's just because - like you said - people outside of the PNW (unless they were Hawks fans) didn't really understand the impact Kam had.

I'll stand by the opinion that if Kam is removed from the defense it would not have been what it was - not even close.
