Rashad Moore had a similar career to Randall Morris. He played for five years in the league and actually played fewer games. However, the former Tennessee football defensive linemen started nearly 10 times as many games, so that’s why we gave him the nod.

Coming out of college, Moore had a bit of pressure, but he had some in college as well. In 2002 Moore was part of a front four tasked with replacing all four members of a 2001 defensive line that may be the greatest defensive line in college football history: Albert Haynesworth, John Henderson, Will Overstreet and Bernard Jackson.
Add in Constantin Ritzman, the face of that line, suffering a season-ending injury, and Moore had a lot to deal with. In a disappointing year for the program as a whole due to the injury bug, Moore still finished with 41 tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble and three fumble recoveries, including one for a defensive touchdown.
That level of production translated to the Seahawks. As a sixth-round pick, Moore started six games his rookie season and 12 his second year. He then was released in 2005 and signed with the New York Jets in 2006, where he appeared in 13 games. In 2007, he saw one game with the New England Patriots and then signed with the Atlanta Falcons, without playing a game, in 2008.
For his career, Moore played 44 games and registered 18 starts over five years. He finished with 94 tackles and three sacks. It’s close between him and Morris, but Moore is the most productive former Tennessee football player in the pros ever drafted by the Seahawks. However, Darrell Taylor is hoping to surpass everybody on here.
