Photo by Michael Owens/Getty Images New Y2K just dropped Saquon Barkley is probably not going to win MVP. Let us get that out of the way.

2023
"I want to WIN, and I want to live up to the legacies of the great Seahawks players who paved the way here: Russ, Marshawn Lynch, Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, Michael Bennett, Bobby Wagner, Walter Jones, Shaun Alexander, Warren Moon, all those guys."

2022
"Shaun Alexander to be 15th inducted into Seahawks Ring of Honor in Week 6 ceremony"

2021
"Sports Pulse: Shaun Alexander on how a good running back is the key to success "

2020
"While the curse used to claim even the mightiest of stars, including Marshall Faulk, Michael Vick and Shaun Alexander, its potency has noticeably diminished as of late."

2018
"Oakland’s Rich Gannon (2002), Seattle’s Shaun Alexander (2005), Brady (2007), Peyton Manning (2009 and 2013), Cam Newton (2015) and Matt Ryan (2016) all took home the MVP but lost out on the big prize in the Super Bowl."

2017
"Their last home playoff loss came in 2004, when Matt Hasselbeck and Shaun Alexander were leading the offense."

2016
" These men clearly stand above others who finished their careers with similar regular-season rushing totals—like Shaun Alexander, Chris Johnson, Ahman Green, Terry Allen, Matt Forte, Willis McGahee and Earnest Byner—because of their style of play, sheer physical dominance and overall success leading their teams."

2015
" In previous years, the famous cover has featured other flashy Pro Bowlers, like Eddie George (2001), Daunte Culpepper (2002), Marshall Faulk (2003), Michael Vick (2004), Ray Lewis (2005), Donovan McNabb (2006), Shaun Alexander (2007), Vince Young (2008), Brett Favre (2009), Troy Polamalu (2010), Larry Fitzgerald (also 2010), Drew Brees (2011), Calvin Johnson (2013), Adrian Peterson (2014) and Richard Sherman (2015)."

2014
"The other two were Shaun Alexander and Curt Warner."
