330 RING OF HONOR
Jacob Green became the second Seahawks
defensive player to be inducted into the Ring
of Honor on September 3, 1995. Green was a
fixture at the left defensive end position for

Seahawks record 3.5 sacks against the
Los Angeles Raiders, and the NFL's longest
interception return for the season, a 73-yard
touchdown at Cleveland. The following year,
