SEATTLE — Seahawks legend and former linebacker Brian “The Boz” Bosworth is raising the 12 Flag before Sunday night’s game against the San Francisco 49ers.
The team made the announcement Friday morning on Twitter.
“I am truly blessed and honored to be asked to raise the 12 Flag for the Seattle Seahawks and the amazing city and fans. There are few moments bigger for a former Seahawks player than to be invited back to relive and experience the emotions the 12s invoke for their team,” Bosworth said.

“I can truly say there is no better fan base or more magical place to play than in Seattle. My heart still pains that I could not fulfill the expectations that I had for myself and for the fans when I was blessed to be drafted to be part of this great organization.”
The Seahawks also created an Instagram face filter to look like Bosworth.
Bosworth was the first overall pick in the 1987 Supplemental Draft. He played in 24 games over three seasons.
Kickoff for Sunday’s game is at 5:20 p.m.
