Steve Largent on Hall of Fame career with Seattle Seahawks and Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund Steve Largent was born in Tulsa, OK before moving to Oklahoma City at a young age. At Putnam City High School, Largent was a running back on the football team before a coach convinced him to move to wide receiver. That change in positions led to a record-setting career at the University of Tulsa and selection in the 1976 NFL draft. Picked in the 4th Round by the Houston Oilers, Largent was about to be cut after four preseason games when the Oilers decided to trade him to the expansion Seattle Seahawks. From 1976-89, Largent broke every major NFL receiving record and was the first Seahawk selected to a Pro Bowl (he was selected 7 times overall). In 1995, Largent became the first Seahawk elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame doing so in his first year eligible. In addition to spending time with his 10 grandchildren, Largent is currently working to help raise money and awareness for the Gridiron Greats Assistance Fund (https://www.gridirongreats.org/) through Pork Rind Appreciation Day (Learn more at https://www.southernrecipesmallbatch.com/pork-rind-appreciation-day). Largent shares why he was so successful, what adjustments he made catching balls from lefthanded quarterback Jim Zorn to righty Dave Krieg and which teammates he enjoyed playing alongside. He also tells us about the Steve Largent Award, the connection he has with current Seahawk receiver Tyler Lockett and the return of the retro Seahawks jerseys. Largent also recounts the concussion he got on a hit from Broncos DB Mike Harden and the revenge hit he delivered weeks later.
