Something Kenny Easley said he had once given up hope of ever happening — being elected into the Pro Football Hall of Fame — became a reality Saturday.
Easley, a standout safety for the Seahawks from 1981-87, was one of seven voted into the Hall Saturday afternoon, in the process becoming the fourth player who spent his entire career in Seattle to make it in. The others are receiver receiver Steve Largent (inducted in 1995), defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy (2012) and offensive tackle Walter Jones (2014). Five other players who spent at least part of a season with the Seahawks are also in the Hall.
