  1.                                  Physically, Steve Largent 
  2.                                  wasnΓÇÖt the best athlete 
  3.                                  ever to play wide receiver 
  4.                                  in the National Football 
  5.                                  League, but he had great 
  6. hands, ran precise patterns, and used his 
  7. head to outwit defenders.

  9. When Steve retired in 1989, after 14 seasons 
  10. with the Seattle Seahawks, he was the NFL 
  11. record-holder for most receptions (819), 
  12. most receiving yards (13,089), and most
  13. receiving touchdowns (100) in a career. All
  14. three records have since been broken, but 
  15. to SteveΓÇÖs credit, it took three different 
  16. players to do it! 
  17.  
  18. Steve always found a way to get open, 
  19. and he rarely dropped a pass. SteveΓÇÖs
