AJ Barner Takes Star Turn as Perfect ‘Seahawks’ Tight End

The Seattle Seahawks certainly have come a long way since the Jimmy Graham trade.

Many 12s see that trade, made in March of 2015, as the beginning of the end of the Legion of Boom era. Where the Seahawks got away from who they truly were and chased shiny objects instead. While Graham wasn’t necessarily bad in Seattle (he is Seattle’s franchise leader in receiving yards and touchdowns for a tight end), it certainly marked a period where they lacked a true identity.

That identity is back. Hard-nosed, physical football lead by defense and selfless play.

AJ Barner is a fantastic posterchild for what the 2025 Seahawks stood for.
