The quiet legacy of Bobby Wagner
The stats were ridiculous, the cohesion was book-worthy, the characters were nationally infamous.in Seattle are still NFL starters, and only one of them is any good.
Bobby Wagner remains at the top of his game, even though every other player from those days is out of the league* - even those who were frequently cited ahead of Wagner.When fans, radio hosts, or whomever discuss those days, it often follows a progression, especially when talking about the “personalities” of the Legion of Boom.
You got Richard Sherman, Earl Thomas, Kam Chancellor - not for being loud but for simply being shaped out of a type of human marble that shouldn’t be permitted on the field. You got Michael Bennett, Cliff Avril - mostly because they went as a pair. At times, the list might still not reach the linebackers, but turn tail towards Doug Baldwin and Marshawn Lynch, another pair of polarizing figures in the NFL and the feature pieces of the offense at that time.
If you could measure competitiveness on some kind of scale, like the Wonderlic test for “who wants it”, I believe there wouldn’t be a shred of difference between Bobby, between Earl, between Sherm. He just didn’t yell at Skip Bayless or dress like a king. Instead, for 11 years, Wagner has said “not on my field” to any opposing coach, offensive player, or field intruder that came close enough to test him.
