Seahawks Make Unprecedented Gesture to Honor Late Legend Kenny Easley Over the Next 7 Games
Seattle, WA. The Seattle Seahawks have announced a powerful and unprecedented tribute to honor the late Kenny Easley, who passed away on November 14. In a move that reflects the profound respect the organization holds for one of its greatest icons, the Seahawks will wear a
This symbolic gesture marks a rare moment in franchise history and serves as a reminder of the impact Easley left on the team, the fanbase and the city of Seattle.
A Legacy That Defines the Soul of the Seahawks
Kenny Easley entered the league as the fourth overall pick in the 1981 NFL Draft. Across seven remarkable seasons with Seattle, he became the heartbeat of the Seahawks’ defense and one of the most dominant safeties of the 1980s.
Easley earned NFL Defensive Player of the Year in 1984 and was selected to First-Team All-Pro three straight seasons from 1983 to 1985. His career was tragically cut short due to kidney disease, yet his influence on the franchise only grew stronger with time.
A Number Retired. A Legacy Eternal.
Easley is enshrined in the Seahawks Ring of Honor and is one of just four players in team history to have their jersey number retired. His No. 45 is more than a number — it represents toughness, leadership and the fierce identity that helped shape the Seahawks into the franchise they are today.
A Tribute That Carries Meaning Into Every Snap
By wearing his number on their helmets throughout the next seven games, the Seahawks aren’t just honoring a former player. They are carrying Easley’s legacy with them onto every field, into every huddle and through every moment of adversity.
It is a promise that his spirit — his intensity, his standard and his legacy — will continue to live through every Seahawk who takes the field.
Kenny Easley may be gone, but in Seattle, legends never fade.
