My Take
What grabs me about Steve Largent is the rare double act of his life. Fourteen seasons of quiet excellence as a Seahawks receiver earned him the Hall of Fame, but then he turned around and won a U.S. House seat for Oklahoma. I find the 1988 Walter Payton Award especially telling, since it honors character as much as skill. He strikes me as a steady, principled type who let the work speak, on the field and in Congress alike. I have a soft spot for understated achievers, and Largent's understated grit is exactly the kind of legacy I admire most.
