Wagner, drafted in the second round of the 2012 NFL Draft, has built a storied career as one of the NFL's most accomplished linebackers. Wagner was named a Pro Bowler in eight consecutive seasons from 2014 to 2021 and earned All-Pro honors 10 times, including during his season in Los Angeles, placing him alongside Hall-of-Famers like Ray Lewis and Lawrence Taylor. In 2019, he became the Seahawks' all-time leading tackler and finished his tenure with 1,564 tackles, the only player in franchise history to surpass 1,000. Wagner captained the Seahawks' defense for most of his time in Seattle and led the NFL in tackles three times (2016, 2019, 2023). A key part of Seattle’s defense during their Super Bowl XLVIII win and Super Bowl XLIX appearance, Wagner shared or led the team in tackles for each. He broke the franchise mark for most tackles in a game twice and holds the longest interception return in team history (98 yards). Beyond his on-field dominance, Wagner earned the prestigious Steve Largent Award twice, was a two-time Seahawks Man of the Year nominee, and was an Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award recipient.
