Zorn, signed as an undrafted free agent in 1976, became the Seattle Seahawks' first-ever starting quarterback. In his rookie season, he led the NFL in pass attempts with 439, setting a record 2,571 passing yards for an expansion team. Zorn's debut earned him Seahawks Team MVP, NFC Offensive Rookie of the Year, and a spot on the PFWA All-Rookie Team. The quarterback’s greatest connection came with Hall-of-Fame receiver Steve Largent and together they created a high-flying identity for the expansion team. Zorn led the league in yards per pass completion (16.2) in 1977 and was named second-team AP All-Pro in 1978, earning Seahawks Team MVP a second time. He also received votes for Offensive Player of the Year in 1978 and 1979. Zorn was nominated Seahawks Man of the Year in 1980. Across 126 games, starting 100, he ranks fourth in Seahawks franchise history in passing attempts (2,990), completions (1,593), passing yards (20,122), and touchdown passes (107). After two final seasons with Green Bay and Tampa Bay, Zorn retired in 1987. In 1991, he became the second inductee into the Seahawks Ring of Honor. Zorn later transitioned to coaching, serving as a Seahawks offensive assistant in 1997 and quarterbacks coach from 2001-2007, continuing to shape the franchise he helped build.
