‘It makes me emotional’: Brandon Mebane’s wife Amena grateful for Top 50 Seahawks selection
Oct 5, 2025, 5:02 AM
After being named a Top 50 Seattle Seahawk of All-Time, Brandon Mebane and his wife, Amena, expressed their appreciation for being honored amongst some of Seattle’s greatest football legends on “The Gee and Ursula Show” on KIRO Newsradio.
“It is truly awesome, it makes me emotional just thinking about all that he’s been through, and all that we’ve been through as a family,” Amena said. “Just seeing him get this very special recognition means a lot to us.”
Brandon played a total of nine years in a Seahawks uniform throughout his 13-year career in the NFL. Brandon was a key figure in both the Seahawks’ Super Bowl runs in the mid-2000s, as a member of arguably one of the best defensive lineups of all time, the “Legion of Boom.”
“[Brandon] would say, as a nose tackle, it’s hard sometimes to get recognition,” Amena said. “You’re not making interceptions, you don’t do any of the visible stuff, so for him to be recognized and honored as one of the top 50 Seahawks of all time, that’s a big deal. It’s even more special that our kids get to see this because they were either not around or very little at the time [Brandon] was playing.”
