The fact Alexander sat out 7 quarters and still had 1,880 yards is mind blowing. If he had 2,000 yards, he would’ve been in the HOF 10 years ago.

[@edubb2491]

Thanx to the left side of the O Line

[@LibertyOrDeath-ms5rf]

He's one of the best RB of all time and needs to be in the Hall of Fame! He's one of my favorite Hawks!

[@InUteroKDC]

A RB who couldn’t handle contact isn’t one of the GOATS. He was a good RB with a HOF LT and LG.

[@melvintolbert8345]

Reason I became a Seattle fan. All time favorite Seahawk.

[@vickiemowry5359]

He Deserves To Be In The Hall Of Fame!!!!

[@gcoop-vg8hj]

He was fun to watch. Thanks for the memories Shaun.

[@Azriel884]

My 2nd favorite seahawks season all time. The sb being number 1.

[@MFGary24]

MVP!!! Easily had 2100 yards that season

[@Poppy_Tim361]

Shaun had shifty feet like emmit smith and hit holes quick and fast.he really does get dissed for being an all timer.every all time great running backs had great lines.thats how they become great.Barry might be the exception

[@squidtower]

Loved Alexander but he never trucked or ran people over. He was never that guy unless he was on the goaline

[@tommyjames2448]

Or every 3rd and 1 situation. If I remember correctly he was never stopped on 3rd and 1 all 2005.

[@user-hf4db4nk5h]

Shawn is definitely a hall of famer 1st ballot no debate!

[@billytheweasel]

Subbed. HOF.

[@InUteroKDC]

Lmao Alexander never “trucked through” anyone. He avoided contact, because you could knock him down with a feather.

[@Smokey525]

La"shaun"dra fetal mode Alexander

[@joewilson4561]

Lol as they show highlights of him running through people. He did early in his career. Later he got a little softer

[@InUteroKDC]

@@joewilson4561 I watched his entire career. He was always soft, and lucky he usually had wide open lanes to blast through.

[@paulrider725]

I seem to remember a playoff game versus the Bears where he blasted a couple of guys up the gut to find the end zone.

[@joewilson4561]

@paulrider725 lol there is highlights of him blasting through people to get in the end zone. People don't understand, you can't be an mvp running back and lead the league being soft. He absolutely got soft late in his career and that's what everyone saw because nobody watched the seahawks until late 2005. He played years before that

[@rubenrebenz1000]

The problem is the very real East Coast Bias and the fact that Seattle was the Rodney Dangerfield of the NFL, before Pete Carroll.

[@mrh3894]

Daaang Kay Adams is so hot

[@hvymtl70]

The highlight that probably explains why he isn't in the HOF: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hJWQc4aoi9iFetU Great run. He got tackled at the 1. In the NFC Championship game. Just one problem. Left Tackle (Walter Jones in the HOF, as is the RG Steve Hutchinson also in that play) rode the DE all the way into the endzone. Shaun Alexander deserves to be in the HOF. 100%. Fairly or not his case is marred by a ridiculous offensive line. But I think he will eventually get in as running back careers are cut short and he probably makes it as a veteran later.

[@jaedenmclaughlin1585]

He did have a great oline but he’s been doing this since highschool stop saying oline 😭 oline barely carried they sure helped but they didn’t give everything he got

[@JeremyVasquez-pj4ic]

Maybe green grant

[@YukonBloamie]

How do you explain to your children that you are OP in Madden NFL 06 and 07?

[@Iron_Hawk_12]

Dude got shafted, his stats speak for themselves!

[@chickengod9184]

In a typical Russell Wilson fashion, Sean Alexander immediately takes credit for his achievements instead of pointing out the fact that he had a Hall of Fame left tackle and left guard Paving the way for him side by side, in Walter Jones and Steve hutchinson. Alexander never lowered his head and ran over people. He would run out of bounds a yard short of a first down to avoid contact. Soft up the middle and only looked good on the perimeter when he had a defensive back to make a move on. It's incredibly audacious for him to say that he took the Seahawks from good to great after he was drafted. He was actually one of the softest running backs in franchise history you guys. If you don't recognize that then you really don't know your football. Sorry but true

[@InUteroKDC]

100% facts

[@Wagyuing]

100 touchdowns. 1880/27 on the ground in 2005. Absolutely elite numbers. He didn't take guys head on but he consistently broke through arm tackles and despite running a 4.58 he always broke long runs and outran the entire defense on numerous occasions. He does come off as arrogant though.

[@ethanbeath965]

Agree 100%. Stiff arms and arm tackles are the only way he got free. Stark contrast from him and Beastmode

[@shawnhollywood3707]

We wouldn't be talking about Alexander if it weren't for Steve Hutchinson. Just like Chris Johnson once he got paid he fell off.

[@SeahawkMoments]

“Truck through people” “and run through people???” 😂😂😂. This dude was the Tyler Lockett of rbs. Aka fall at when fiest contact was coming. I’m sorry but you know nothing about him. And I’m a Hawks fan. He’s absolutely a product of the O Line. Marshawn would destroy Shaun if he had same line.

[@jaedenmclaughlin1585]

He only stiff arms and Jukes but than again he was rlly fast

[@SeahawkMoments]

@@jaedenmclaughlin1585 one of the most overrated rbs I can think of. Nothing special about him. He had a few good years, again, behind a monstrous O Line. No real football players respect the hype he gets.

[@jaedenmclaughlin1585]

@@SeahawkMoments ok that’s fair but who’s putting up 27 tds and 1800 yards no every running back is doing that u gotta give atleast sum credit 🤷🏽‍♂️ but than again he definitely was a little soft definitely wasn’t that physical

[@jaedenmclaughlin1585]

@@SeahawkMoments but his oline was definitely a big help

[@SeahawkMoments]

@@jaedenmclaughlin1585 he did a good job finding wide open gaping holes, lol. Credit to him for that. But seriously, he is whack, no real ballers will buy the hype he gets. Marshawn is 10x the RB Shaun is.

[@JG-ne1sd]

He lost his edge when he signed the big deal. Started avoiding contact and running out of bounds at the first sign of a hit coming his way, didn't matter if he could power through and get the first down. Quitters don't get into the HOF, sorry Shaun. I was a huge fan until he started pulling that BS. Dude was soft and deserves to be shut out.
