The Unofficial Selection Committee awards the Neil Graff Trophy at the end of each season to the most underrated Seahawks player. The one who does the hard work without getting the public or fan recognition he deserves.

    This is a very subjective criterion, but the selection is safely in the hands of experts who know all about being underrated. (Us! The fans!)

    The inaugural winner of the Trophy in 2001 was Mack Strong who went on to win the Graffy again in 2004! Congratulations to all the winners (shown below), and our thanks to those of you who voted in our poll!

    2001 - Mack Strong
    2002 - Bobby Engram
    2003 - Trent Dilfer
    2004 - Mack Strong
    2005 - J.P. Darche
    2006 - Ben Joppru

    The Trophy is named in honor of Neil Graff, who played through the Seahawks' 1976 pre-season at quarterback only to be released just before the regular season. Whatever his future may have been, his name has largely been forgotten today in the shadow of Jim Zorn. He represents to us the cruelty of being overlooked - which this award tries to overcome.
