Former Wisconsin Badgers quarterback Russell Wilson was named the Seattle Seahawks starter by coach Pete Carroll. Not former Packers back up Matt Flynn, not Tarvaris Jackson. And people said RW was too short.
Maybe Wilson is the new Doug Flutie, underestimated because of his height. He’s more mobile than Flutie, and possibly has a stronger arm than him too. Russell broke the college football passer rating record for a season last year, so it’s he’s given you reason to believe in him; even if he’s only 5’9″.
