Kenny Easley Biography

Kenny Easley was a star safety for the Seattle Seahawks in the 1980s.  In seven seasons, Easley was a five-time Pro Bowler and four-time first-team All-Pro.  There is no doubt that 1984, a year in which he had ten interceptions and was named NFL Defensive Player of the Year, was the highlight of his career.  Easley’s career ended too soon when he was diagnosed with a severe kidney disease.  His story became one of the early cautionary tales about player safety in the NFL after Easley claimed his condition developed by being given too many Advil by team medical staff for a previous injury.  Following retirement, he bought a car dealership in Washington that became very successful and went on to be president of the African American Dealers Association.  Easley was selected to the Seahawks Ring of Honor in 2002.  As a three-time consensus All-American at UCLA, he has also been elected to the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame and the College Football Hall of Fame.
