Seattle Seahawks: Russell Wilson, Steve Largent, Cortez Kennedy, Walter Jones
Just Missed Cut: Marshawn Lynch
The Seattle Seahawks till recent time has usually been an awful team, and in those dreadful teams, some gems make the Mount Rushmore for the Seahawks. We start with wide receiver Steve Largent who played his whole career with the Seahawks. Largent was the receiver record holder when he retired from the league that has now been broken by other receivers. Next, we have offensive tackle Walter Jones who also played his whole career as a Seahawk and was inducted to the Hall of Fame as a Seahawk as well. One cool fact I learned about Walter Jones. Jones was called for holding penealities just nine times in his whole career. Cortez Kennedy was another player who opted to play for the Seahawks for his entire career. Kennedy had won the Defensive Player of the Year award and is also in the Hall of Fame. So now we had to add someone from the current success of the Seahawks. That was an easy choice. The franchise face and Super Bowl-winning quarterback Russell Wilson.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers: Warren Sapp, Mike Alstott, Derrick Brooks, Ronde Barber
Just Missed Cut: John Lynch
Tampa Bay like Seattle was really bad in the 90's. It wasn't until Jon Gruden came to coach the Tampa Bay Buccaneers that the defence came to be known as the best in the league and went on to win a Super Bowl with that fantastic deference. It was easy for me to name all defensive players as the greatest Buccaneers, but I had to add the most popular Buccaneer of that time. Mike Alstott was a powerhouse fullback who won a Super Bowl and was elected to the Pro Bowl six times as well. The other three is all defensive players and you could probably guess them as well. Warren Sapp was the face of the defence. Sapp was a Pro Bowler, a Defensive player of the year winner, Hall of Famer. Considered one of the best defensive linemen in his era. Then there was another flasher in Ronde Barber who played his whole career with the Buccaneers and could be a future Hall of Famer. Derrick Brooks was also a Pro Bowler, Hall of Famer, Defensive player of the year winner. This Buccaneers team was loaded on defence. This defence had a lot of players that could have been on the Rushmore including John Lynch.
Tennessee Titans: Warren Moon, Steve McNair, Jevon Kearse, Earl Campbell
Just Missed Cut: Eddie George
Warren Moon would have had a lot more success in the NFL if he was allowed to play quarterback in the league. Moon successfully played in six seasons in the Canadian Football League until the Houston Oilers as Titans were called back in the 80's gave him a chance in the NFL. One of the best quarterbacks ever to never win a Super Bowl went to the Pro Bowl many times and was offensive player of the year once as well. Steve McNair some would say was a better Oilers/Titans quarterback than Moon was. Took the Titans to the Super Bowl and lost on one play that went short of the goal line. McNair had won the NFL MVP as well. Jevon Kearse was the prototype defensive end that made it nightmares for opposing quarterbacks. The "Freak" is probably the best defensive player to dawn a Titans jersey. We save the end for a great running back in Earl Campbell. Campbell was an MVP, NFL leading rusher three times, Offensive player of the year three times, Rookie of the year and the list goes on for this stud of a running back.
Washington Redskins: John Riggins, Joe Theismann, Darrell Green, Sammy Baugh
Just Missed Cut: Art Monk
Sammy Baugh was an outstanding quarterback that we never got to see, and then there is the quarterback whom we all got to look on YouTube when Lawerence Taylor ended Joe Thisemena short but celebrated career. Then we have late bloomer running back John Riggins who had his best years late in his career almost after his prime. The final position is the most significant defensive back ever to play the game which is Darrell Green who is an automatic lock for this group. Green played an incredible 20 years in the league. In those 20 years everything came and went, but Green played all of them for one team the Washington Redskins.
