Star quarterback Russell Wilson was the face of the Seattle Seahawks for a decade, but now represents the Denver Broncos following Tuesday’s trade.
Still, it appears Wilson won’t forget the Seahawks.
āSEATTLE, I Love You,ā Wilson tweeted. āForever Grateful.ā
The deal actually can’t become official until the NFL’s new calendar year starts next Wednesday. Either way, it was quite a run for Wilson in Seattle.
He was selected in the fourth round of the 2012 NFL Draft, then won the starting QB job, perhaps to the surprise of everyone, including himself. He led the Seahawks to a Super Bowl win a year later.
When next season kicks off, he will be the Broncos’ biggest name under center since Peyton Manning, who just happened to lose to Wilson and the Seahawks in that very 2014 Super Bowl matchup.
So the Broncos are hoping an older Wilson can give them the type of success that he brought the Seahawks earlier in his career.
One SB same as Trent Dilfer
Why does everyone want to knock Trent Dilfer? š
No knock like TD just stating a fact
Just Like Aaron Rodgers one ring but Russel Wilson has a far better looking woman….IJMFS
Thats right one ring over ten years ago
3rd round pick, 9 pro bowls, 104-53-1 record, 8 playoff appearances, Walter Payton Award, 2 Super Bowl appearances, first title in team history. Iād say Seattle had one of the best ROIs in the history of football.
