Largent still a Seahawk Hero.

8:37 PM Fri, Dec 01, 2006 |

He is in NFL Hall of Fame, the Seahawks Ring of Honor and now he has been inducted in to the Professional Athlete’s Humanitarian Hall Of Fame. Steve Largent was a hero in Seattle for years while playing on the football field. This week he was honored for his contributions off the field. I saw the story about Largent on Northwest Cable News today.


When Steve Largent was a Seahawk, he was a hero to many. His ability to be the small receiver without lightning speed gave many athletes hope that they to could have their dreams come true. When I was a kid growing up in Cheney Washington, I spent several days up at Seahawks Training Camp. Steve Largent stood in blistering heat after every practice and showed is appreciation for the fans that came out to see him and the rest of the Seahawks practice from day to day. He never turned away anyone for an autograph, or had anything negative to say when asked to have a picture taken. Steve Largent was a class act on and off the Football Field. I am very happy he has been honored again.

These days we get to listen to the antics of guys like T.O. and even our own Jeremy Stevens. If I could I would ask those guys to take a lesson from Largent who on Thursday said, I really didn't come because I was getting an award "I came to send a message to athletes of every stripe that it's important to give back. When I look back on my career now, that's the aspect of my career that I'm probably most proud of."

Steve Largent will always be one of my favorite Seahawks, and I hope my kids appreciate what he did on and off the field.

You can read about Largent on NWCN.com.

Oh yeah, other Seahawks News today. Seattle plans on blitzing Cutler. “Who wouldn’t have known that”. And Qwest Field is being sued for the pat down. Hey if you don’t want to have the pat down, send me your tickets, I’ll go.

More to come fans.
