49 is a wasteland.

You set me up with this softball, and I'm ready to go off on how there's something about that number - the Super Bowl with that number, the lack of production from that uniform number in 48 years of Seahawks football, and of course the official name of the Santa Clara Gold Diggers...

...But then I notice that despite XLVIII being my favorite Super Bowl ever and despite me not having any problem at all with the 48ers, 48 actually manages to be a Seahawks uniform number at which production has been even worse than uni number 49.

I'd say @Grahamhawker's post above contains the player who did the most with uniform number 48 in Seahawks history, and that's a pretty sad thing to say. One season from a tight end who started just three games in that season is the best the Seahawks have gotten out of any player wearing that uniform in the team's 48-year history. Yes, just one season. Hollister was with the Seahawks for two seasons, but only wore 48 for one of them, 2019. In 2020, he wore Mike Tice's number.

Boyer is a good one for #48.

The only other I could find who seemed relevant at all was this cat.

I don't remember him wearing #48 (had to look it up)

but I guess he did for one year. I do remember Raible having a lot of fun with his name.

I tried finding a photo of a Seahawks fan wearing a custom jersey 48 that says "SUPER BOWL" for the name.
