    Steve Largent is the best WR in the history of NFL. His ability to get open is unmatched. When Houston let him go, and he went to Seattle, I stopped being a Oilers fan and have been a Seahawks fan ever since.

    There's no better breed of ball hawk than a Seahawk, and Largent is the greatest of them all. And the coolest part...he did it all with bare hands!

    I truly believe that he was the second best WR of all time. He was always open, always caught the ball, and scored 100 touchdowns. He was at his best in the red zone or in close games. His counting stats don't match up anymore but he played after the wild west of the 1960s AFL and before the passing revolution of West Coast Offence. His numbers as a percentage of the offence were off the charts. And he really had very little in the way of quality WRs or TEs to distract the defence.

    • @seabrook1976

      Second best? Come on. If he had a Hall of Fame Offensive line, Bill Walsh and Joe Montana as his QB, he'd have made a mockery of every WR record on the books. Put Jerry Rice on the Seahawks and are you going to get the same career? Honestly.....

Etched in my mind’s eye is the honor of watching Steve play his last NFL game on 12/23/89 in the Kingdome vs. the Redskins ~ sat at the top of the 1st level of the south end zone stands & watched the pregame ceremony honoring Steve, just as they showed near the end of this piece. Will never forget it👏🌟🏈☝️~ also at that very time they unveiled for 1st~ever time the Seahawks ring~of~honor, of course with Largent’s name standing alone up there on the mezzanine!

My God, the numbers he could have really posted in today's high octane pass happy offenses, if they were around in those days. A couple teams ran June Jones Run and Shoot offenses, Warren Moon in Houston, Steve Bartkowski in Atlanta. Largent could have numbers close to Jerry Rice if he had Moon or Bartkowski QB'ing

      Based on the entirely of actually playing the position, Rice is the goat. Rice is easily the best runner after the catch ever, is easily the most clutch and best big game recover ever, and is the best route runner ever. (Though was a GREAT route runner himself.) But when talking strictly about hands and nothing but hands, Largent is the goat of hands. After Largent, the argument for the second best hands is between Carter and Fitzgerald.

      Rap music which includes f... and other obscenities is not what Largent would approve of. It is offensive to say the least. It demeans all that Steve Largent stood for.

      I love this video, but there is no way I would share it because of that vile rap song. Why would anyone choose that?

      My thoughts exactly guys. I'm sure Largent would really appreciate that garbage on a video about him. Pissed me off.

    Despise his political views and have lost a lot of respect for him because of that but as a kid growing up in seattle before/during the Matt Hasselbeck era the only great I knew was steve

      He's one of my idols but it was ROUGH when I became familiar with his politics. Similar to when I found out John Lennon was a woman beater.
