In more recent years, when you think of Seahawks receivers, DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett and Doug Baldwin are probably a few names that come to mind, and they are all part of the Seahawks Top 50 Players. Unique in their own ways, Metcalf known for his size, strength and speed, was a standout pass-catching weapon for both Russell Wilson and Geno Smith. Lockett started off his career making his name known for his punt and kick return abilities that landed him his first Pro Bowl and AP first-team All-Pro honors. Lockett later developed into a reliable receiver Seattle could count on for 10 seasons. And Baldwin, a receiver on the Super Bowl XLVIII team enjoyed an eight-season career with Seattle.

Steve Largent, the franchise's most prolific receiver who is a Hall of Famer, still leads Seattle's record books, is also part of the Seahawks Top 50 Players.

Brian Blades, Bobby Engram and Darrell Jackson make up the rest of the group.

These seven receivers are among the top 50 players in franchise history, a group selected in honor of the Seahawks' upcoming 50th season. The Top 50 Players were voted on by fans, media members and internal stakeholders. The voting process took place toward the end of the 2024 season, with more than 160 players eligible based on the following criteria:

• Started at least 45 games
• Voted to an AP All-Pro or NFL Pro Bowl team roster
• Won Seahawks Man of the Year or the Steve Largent Award
• Currently leads a career major statistical category, such as most receiving yards in a career
• Part of an iconic moment in Seahawks history

Bobby Engram, 2001-2008: Engram would prove to be one of Matt Hasselbeck's most trusted targets, catching at least 50 passes and eclipsing 600 yards four times.

He was the first NFL player to reach 100 touchdown receptions in a career.

Tyler Lockett, 2015-2024: In Lockett's 10 seasons, he became one of the most reliable and durable pass-catchers in team history. He began with the Seahawks as a special teams player, returning punts and kicks and earning a Pro Bowl and was named AP first-team All-Pro his rookie season as a result. He surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in every season from 2019 to 2022, tying for the most consecutive campaigns with 1,000-plus receiving yards in franchise history.

DK Metcalf, 2019-2024: In 2024, Metcalf became the first player in franchise history to register three consecutive 100-yard games in Weeks 2 through 4. His six years with the Seahawks were marked by multiple highlight plays every season, as he functioned as a prime playmaker for Russell Wilson and Geno Smith. The 6-foot-4, 235-pounder became an instant offensive weapon for Seattle because of his unique blend of size, strength and speed.
