My Take
Kenny Easley deserves more recognition than he gets, and I hold him in real esteem. Out of Chesapeake, Virginia, he became a three-time consensus All-American safety at UCLA before the Seahawks took him in the first round of the 1981 draft. Seven seasons, one team, and a place in football history: that's a career defined by intensity rather than length. A kidney illness cut it short, but there's dignity in how he stepped away. He passed in 2025, remembered as one of the hardest-hitting defenders of his era. I have a soft spot for athletes that uncompromising.
