Seattle Seahawks is one of the best linebackers in football and Peter Carroll thinks that once his playing career is over, he should have a bust in Canton, Ohio. Since Wagner's career has started he has had five pro bowl selections and also has been an All-Pro three times. Wagner is also only 28 years old so he still has many more years to add to his already impressive resume.

“The thing I love about looking at great players is do they show that ability to do it year after year after year. I think that's what greatness is all about. People say ‘hey this guy is going to be the next Jerry Rice' well let's look ten or 12 years from now and see what it looks like. And Bobby's put together a resume of really Hall of Fame stuff. This is the kind of guy that gets there someday.”
So far this year Wagner has 69 tackles, 1.0 sack, 11 passes defended, two forced fumbles and one interception. That interception was returned 98 yards for a touchdown. It seems that he is probably destined for the Hall of Fame but it's hard to predict injuries, and one of those could end his career and then the question is has he done enough up to this point. Either way, Carroll is just happy he has him on this side and called him the perfect Seahawk.
“The leadership that he's brought and the direction and the focus that he's brought on a regular basis, I mean he's been a perfect Seahawk throughout the time he's been here,” Carroll said. “We're just very lucky to have him.”
