How big was the Legion of Boom? I don’t mean “big” in terms of any kind of cultural significance. Just how many members were there? Six? In 2011-’12, you had Sherman, Thomas, and Chancellor, along with Thurman, Maxwell, and Browner. I count six members of the Seattle Seahawks’ iconic defensive backfield in the early days of Pete Carroll.
In the early days of Mike Macdonald, the Seahawks appear to have gone one better. This season, seven defensive backs have created a deep and dangerous group that has helped the Seahawks to the best record in the NFL and a first-round bye in the playoffs.
