A look at some memorable moments in Seahawks history that occurred on April 22:
1990: The Seahawks trade up to the third spot in the first round of the NFL Draft and select defensive tackle Cortez Kennedy. He would be voted to eight Pro Bowls and named NFL Defensive Player of the Year (1992) during his career, and in 2012 the most-decorated defensive player in franchise history was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He also was inducted into the team's Ring of Honor in 2006, had his **No. 96 retired** in 2012 and was voted **the franchise’s 35th Anniversary team**.
1995: Joey Galloway is selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. Galloway would lead the Seahawks in receptions for three consecutive seasons (1996-98) and catch 37 touchdown passes before being traded to the Cowboys for a pair of first-round draft choices in 2000.
2008: Shaun Alexander, the franchise's all-time leading rusher, is released. After being named league MVP and leading the NFL in rushing with 1,880 yards in 2005, injuries limited Alexander to fewer than 1,000 rushing yards in 2006 and 2007.
2010: Russell Okung and Earl Thomas are selected in the first round of the NFL Draft. Okung, a left tackle and the sixth pick overall, had his first 16-start season in 2012 and was voted to the Pro Bowl. Thomas, a free safety and the 14th pick overall, was voted All-Pro the past two seasons and to the Pro Bowl the past three seasons.
