Russell Wilson

Few quarterbacks have accomplished what Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has been able to in the short period of time since being drafted in 2012. One of the shortest quarterbacks in the league, he is considered one of its biggest stars, having already made two Super Bowl appearances, and won one championship. Wilson, a multi-sport star in high school and college, considered a career as a second baseman in Major League Baseball (he was drafted in 2010 by the Colorado Rockies) before deciding to make football his focus. He took over as the Seahawks starter in 2012 and has not missed a start since. The Super Bowl champion is on pace to becoming one of the very best quarterbacks the league has ever seen—short in stature, larger than life! Each book in the Gridiron Greats series takes a close-up look at some of the very best of today's pro football stars. Statistical leaders and championship winners go under the spotlight in a fun to read and visually interesting examination of the player's outstanding career.
