Former Seattle Seahawks safety Kenny Easley died on Saturday, November 15, at the age of 66 years old. Easley was known on the football field as a punishing tackler, elite in coverage, and excellent in run support. He was arguably the best strong safety in the history of the game, though his career was cut short by injuries.
No cause of death was immediately known for Easley. He did deal with kidney issues at the end of his career, but there might not be any relation to that and his death.
Easley was not only potentially the best Seahawks safety to ever play for the franchise, but he might also have been among the top three in NFL history.
