Seahawks Drafts from the Past: Marcus Trufant highlights 2003 class (Also, this was the Seneca Wallace and Taco Wallace draft)
to make their selections ahead of Minnesota. If you’re curious, it worked out pretty well for the Vikings as they still selected future Seahawks legend Kevin Williams at No. 9.
Okay, on to the Seahawks! Seattle selected Tacoma-native cornerback Marcus Trufant out of Washington State. Trufant starred in football, track, and basketball in high school before attending WSU. He was an All-Pac-10 selection as a freshman and started all four years. Trufant wasn’t just a “homer” pick as he went on to have a productive Seahawks career including a Pro-Bowl selection in 2007. He appeared in 136 games, starting 125 from 2003-2012 with 646 tackles, 2.0 sacks, 21 INTs, 5 FF, 6 FR and 2 defensive TDs. Trufant was a fan-favorite and was very well respected as evidenced by the team signing him to a one-day contract in 2014 so he could retire as a Seattle Seahawk.
Hamlin’s career in Seattle started off hot with 178 tackles, 5 INTs, 3 FF, 1 FR, and 2.0 sacks over his first two seasons displaying a penchant for bone-crunching tackles. Sadly, Hamlin only played six games in the 2005 season as he was involved in an altercation at a nightclub and suffered a fractured skull, sidelining him for that magical run. It’s not like his absence would come back to bite the Seahawks, right? RIGHT??
