Hall of Fame offensive lineman Steve Hutchinson, who wore No. 76 during his five years with the Seattle Seahawks, gave rookie first-rounder Grey Zabel his blessing to wear the number. Zabel expressed his excitement, stating there’s “no better number to wear in Seattle history.” Hutchinson, a first-round pick in 2001, later left for the Vikings amid a controversial free agency move that influenced team dynamics, having spent six years in Minnesota and one in Tennessee before his Hall of Fame induction in 2020.
