Engram was already five years into a solid career with the Bears when he joined the Seahawks as a free agent in 2001, and in Seattle he quickly established himself as one of Matt Hasselbeck’s favorite targets, particularly on third down. In eight seasons with the Seahawks, Engram had 399 receptions for 4,589 yards, both of which rank seventh in franchise history, and he also found success as a punt returner, becoming one of only four players in team history with multiple punt return touchdowns. Engram’s best season came in 2007 when he eclipsed 1,000 yards for the first time, finishing with 1,147 yards and six touchdowns on 94 receptions, which at the time was a franchise record later matched by Doug Baldwin in 2016, the broken by Tyler Lockett in 2020. Engram, the team’s Steve Largent Award winner and Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year nominee in 2007, became a coach after his playing days ended, and is currently the receivers coach for the Washington Commanders.
