Russell Wilson
Here's some fun college stats. His rookie year at North Carolina State, he had a 17-1 touchdown ratio. During his senior campaign at Wisconsin his touchdown ratio was 33-4 while completing 72% of his passes. These stats, in combination with the fact he's looked like an absolute genius in the pre-season so far, leads me to believe Russell Wilson is a very intelligent quarterback.
He also played baseball in the Colorado Rockies farm system. But after 2 years of hitting only .230, he probably made the right choice playing in the NFL.
Russell Wilson is "too short" to play quarterback at the professional level. I really never understood that. If a quarterback excels at the college level, why then, is he not tall enough to be successful in the NFL? Do all the defensive players suddenly have a growth spurt?
He's one inch shorter than Drew Brees.
