Tuesday Round-Up: Who's The Seahawks' Top Defensive Player in Franchise History?

Good morning, 12s. Here's a look at what's "out there" for today - Tuesday, June 21 - about your Seattle Seahawks: NFL.com: Earl Thomas is Seahawks Top Defensive Player In his latest 'All-32' exercise at NFL.com, media analyst Elliot Harrison picks the top defensive player of all-time for each of the League's 32 teams. For the Seahawks, Harrison narrows it down to strong safety Kenny Easley, a member of the Seahawks Ring of Honor, free safety Earl Thomas, and cornerback Richard Sherman. He lands on Thomas as Seattle's top defender, and here's why: Earl Thomas narrowly edges Kenny Easley and Richard Sherman as the Seahawks' leading man on defense (despite playing in the back end). Still just 27, Thomas has already matched Easley with five Pro Bowls and three first-team All-Pro nods. It should be noted that Easley earned Defensive Player of the Year honors in 1984. But the trump card here is Thomas' contributions to two Super Bowl teams, a height Easley's teams were never able to reach. Thomas' postseason résumé: 82 tackles, two picks and a ring. Pretty stout. Disagree with Harrison's pick? He welcomes you to hit him up on Twitter @HarrisonNFL, where you can ask for his thoughts on Cortez Kennedy, the Seahawks' only defensive player in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.

More From Around The Web Here at Seahawks.com, digital media reporter John Boyle takes a behind-the-scenes look at the team's Rookie Transition Program held Monday that saw first-year players soak up knowledge about life in the NFL from Seahawks Legends like Walter Jones and Marcus Trufant. A few current and former Seahawks took part in a celebrity basketball game at Timberline High School this past weekend.

"I want to stay around the game, talk football," he said. "I might coach for a little while, but more than likely, just going to talk football." Media will certainly be an option for Sherman, but coaching could scratch his competitive itch. He worked his way up from a fifth-round pick to an All-Pro. He is able to connect with teammates from different backgrounds. He often works with the Seahawks' younger cornerbacks, and he seems to have a passion for the X's and O's."
