As an undrafted free agent out of the University of Georgia, Mack Strong went on to play all 14 of his seasons in Seattle, paving the way for some of the best running backs in franchise history. Strong served as the lead blocker for 1,000-yard rushers Chris Warren, Ricky Watters and Shaun Alexander, including Alexander’s record-breaking MVP season in 2005. He was awarded AP All-Pro honors and his first trip to the Pro Bowl in 2005 during Seattle’s run to the Super Bowl. Strong was the epitome of what it meant to be a Seahawk as he won the team’s Steve Largent Award five times which is more than any player in team history. His work off the field was recognized by the league as he was the Seahawks’ nominee for the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award in 2004.
