    Kearse was selected by the Tennessee Titans in the first round pick of the 1999 NFL draft. He also played for the Philadelphia Eagles for four seasons between his two stints with the Titans. During his first five years with the Titans, he was a three-time Pro Bowl selection and NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year in 1999.

    Former Seahawks WR Jermaine Kearse Announces Retirement 

    Kearse was never Seattle's No. 1 receiver during his time here, but he could always be counted on to come through in a big moment.

    "What makes Jermaine an excellent receiver is that he's always focused in the moment," former teammate Doug Baldwin once said of Kearse. "He doesn't allow distractions or a lack of looks his way prevent him from staying focused in the moment. So he's always ready for the opportunity when it comes his way.

    "You guys think of it as miraculous catches, but that's just what he does on a consistent basis when he gets the opportunity. So it's not surprising to us."

    Along with Baldwin, Kearse became a leader of a scrappy, underappreciated receiving corps in Seattle that took pride not just in making big catches, but in doing the unglamorous work like blocking in the running game or making plays on special teams. Kearse recorded 153 catches for 2,109 yards and 11 touchdowns in five season
