Former Seattle Seahawks safety Kenny Easley, who was nicknamed “The Enforcer” for his hard hitting, has died at the age of 66. Easley died Friday night, his family told the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He is just one of four players in franchise history to spend his entire career with the Seahawks and be named to the Hall of Fame, which he was inducted into in 2017. The Chesapeake, Virginia, native was a five-time Pro Bowler and three-time All-Pro across his seven seasons in Seattle. His best season was in 1984, when Easley led the NFL with 10 interceptions and was named defensive player of the year by The Associated Press.
