Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Rare in today's world of sports, Steve Largent played his entire career on the same NFL team. Name that team (city and teamname please)?

Answer: Seattle Seahawks

2. Here's another fairly easy warm-up. What number did Steve Largent wear during his career in the NFL?

Answer: 80

Seems like the greatest receivers in history tend to wear the number 80.

3. Ok, we're going to get a bit tougher now, so we'll switch to some multiple choice. Where did Steve Largent play his college ball?

Answer: Tulsa

Yep, Steve Largent was part of the Tulsa Golden Hurricane.

4. In what year was Steve Largent drafted?

Answer: 1976

Steve was drafted in the 4th round that year, but was traded to the Seahawks during training camp for an 8th round pick for the following year. I wonder who got the better end of that deal?

5. Speaking of the draft, what team traded Steve Largent away for an 8th round pick?

Answer: Houston Oilers

Yep, the Oilers are the ones that know how the Red Sox must have felt after trading away Babe Ruth.

6. Steve Largent played in the NFL for 14 seasons. During his 14 year career, how many times was he elected to the Pro Bowl?

Answer: 7

Amazingly enough, Steve only went 7 times. Of course, he had a few injuries that shortened his seasons towards the end, but it seems there are some players that make it with no where near the credentials that Steve had. One could argue that it's another case of media bias against the North West. Athletes here tend to live in hiding as far as the press is concerned.

7. Although most of them have been broken, how many career receiving records did Steve Largent possess when he retired in 1989?

Answer: 6

Among Steve's most impressive career totals are records for most career catches (819), yards (13,089) and touchdowns (100).

8. One record held by Steve Largent was the most 1000 yard receiving seasons. Although this record has since been broken, Steve is still number 2 on the list. How many did he have?

Answer: 8

1000 receiving yards in a single season is impressive enough. To have eight such seasons is remarkable.

9. The same man that broke the 1000 yard seasons record also broke his records for career yards and touchdowns. Who was it?

Answer: Jerry Rice

As a life-long Steve Largent fan, it's difficult for me to admit that any wide receive could have been better. Mr. Rice, however, makes a pretty strong case. Of course, if Steve had Joe Montana and Steve Young throwing to him instead of Jim Zorn and Dave Kreig, who knows what kind of numbers he'd have posted.

10. One of Steve's most impressive records was most consecutive games with a reception. How many games in a row did Steve catch at least one pass?

Answer: 177

177 games! If you don't include the playoffs, that's over 11 straight seasons.

11. In 1995, Steve was inducted into the NFL Hall of Fame. In November of the previous year, Largent was elected to the US Congress. What state does Steve Largent represent?

Answer: Oklahoma

Steve was born in Tulsa, went to high school in Oklahoma City, and attended college in Tulsa. Is it any wonder that he'd go back to Oklahoma?

12. Let's get back to the football questions, shall we? Who threw most of the passes that Steve caught during his record setting career?

Answer: Dave Kreig

Adkins was a back-up from 1977-82, Warren Moon played for the Oilers while he and Largent were in the NFL, and Zorn, though the first starting QB for the Seahawks, had his numbers surpassed in the longer tenure of Dave Kreig.

13. That reminds me of something... I mentioned earlier that Steve was traded for an 8th round draft pick. What player was selected with that eighth round pick?

Answer: Steve Davis

All the possible answers are names of my friends. It's just a coincidence that I have a friend named Steve Davis and the man selected with that pick was Steve Davis. To the best of my knowledge, they are two different people, as my friend would have been about 3 years old during that draft.

14. How many career receiving touchdowns does Steve Largent have?

Answer: 100

Interesting footnote: Steve actually had 101 career touchdowns. He ran one in. Also, as the holder for their field goal and PAT unit, Largent once ran in a PAT on a botched snap.

Answer: Yes

Yep, but it was only released here in the Pacific Northwest. Among the other Largent merchandise released around here were candy bars and a complete set of football cards. Such merchandising might be commonplace now, but Steve was pretty special in the 70s and early 80s. I'm proud to say that he's the only sports 'hero' I've ever had.
