Do modern Seahawks legends deserve statues at Lumen Field?

Marshawn Lynch. The entire Legion of Boom secondary. Bobby Wagner. Shaun Alexander. Russell Wilson. Tyler Lockett. These are just a few players who have fueled the Seattle Seahawks as a franchise since 2000. All of them were part of the team’s list of top-50 players in franchise history, which was released earlier this month.

As impactful as these stars were during their time with the team, do any of them deserve to be immortalized outside of Lumen Field with a statue of their own? The idea was initiated by NFL.com writer Adam Rank, who suggested five such candidates for different teams. Among them were Lynch and the entire secondary of the Legion of Boom defense.

“Lynch’s statue should be modeled after the famed ‘Beast Quake’ run in the Seahawks’ 2010 Wild Card Game win over the New Orleans Saints,” Rank wrote. “Marshawn was the face of those great Seahawks teams of that era — at least, on the offensive side of the football, racking up 6,381 rushing yards and 58 rushing TDs in his six seasons with Seattle.

“I’d also like to see the Legion of Boom — the ‘Hawks’ dominant secondary, which featured Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor, among others — get its recognition in statue form as well.”
