Russell Wilson Biography

Russell Carrington Wilson is an American football player who plays in the National Football League for the Seattle Seahawks. 

After starting his football career in college, playing for North Carolina State University and then for Wisconsin University, Wilson has come a long way to become one of America's most popular sportspersons. However, he was initially considered unfit for football, especially as a quarterback, and faced rejections early in his life. Eventually, his skills proved his critics wrong and he went on to become one of the leading players for the popular NFL team Seattle Seahawks. 

He also played baseball in college and was initially confused as to which sport he should pursue as his career. He eventually chose football as it seemed more challenging. After being drafted into the NFL in 2012, he displayed his speed and strength from the very first game and continued playing well throughout the tournament, eventually winning the NFL Rookie of the Year award in his debut series. 

The very next year, he led his team to victory in NFL 2013. In 2015, Wilson became the highest-paid NFL player after extending his contract with Seahawks for $87.6 million.

Wilson is one of the best quarterbacks in football, using his blend of mobility and accuracy to become a full-fledged stud. He has played for the Seattle Seahawks his entire career, captaining the team and leading them to victory over the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl XLVIII. 

He started playing baseball and football when he was four, and he was almost drafted to the MLB as a professional baseball player but later chose to play football.
