 Like the Seahawks, the Ninja Turtles boast several unique features and personalities. From their blue-masked sword-swinging leader Leonardo to the easy-going orange-masked jokester Michelangelo, and from the brainy purple-masked Donatello to the rough-edged red-masked Raphael, the Ninja Turtles mimic many traits you might find in an NFL locker room.

With that in mind, we let Wagner have some fun at his teammates' expense. Here's what he had to say when asked which Seahawks other than himself best represent his teenage mutant friends:

DONATELLO IS...

Wagner: "Richard Sherman. Donatello would be Sherm. Smart guy. But not just because he's smart, but because he's always thinking about something. He's always trying to be a step ahead of the game and always trying to think of something that somebody else isn't thinking of. So he's smart in that way, but of course, Donatello can hold his own. He's one of the good turtles."

LEONARDO IS...

 

Wagner: "Earl Thomas. Leonardo is kind of a leader. He kind of leads by example like Earl. He's a good guy. A good turtle."

MICHELANGELO IS...

Wagner: "Michael Bennett. Michelangelo is just fun to be around. He's always making jokes. He's always making people around him laugh. That's kind of how Mike B. is. It's fun to be around Mike B."

RAPHAEL IS...

Wagner: "Robert Turbin, because he's big. Besides that, he kind of has the same sarcasm like Raphael. He's a dog. I like how Raphael just grinds and is a hard worker. That's kind of how Turb is - he's a hard worker."

MASTER SPLINTER IS...

Wagner: "It's got to be Coach [Pete] Carroll. Coach Carroll gives all the positivity and then the butt kicking when you're doing something bad. But then again, Splinter could be coach [Ken] Norton [Jr.], too, because coach Norton can definitely do some butt-kicking."
