Super Bowl week is one of the biggest times of the year for the NFL. As hype builds for the game of the season, the country cannot get enough football content, not just from the participating teams, but from other players around the league.
The sports media site, Bleacher Report, which has had NFL stars – both past and present – host their own “Ask Me Anything” forums on their platform, recently welcomed Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson into the spotlight.
Wilson covered a wide range of topics, from who he thinks is the most underrated player (K.J. Wright and Duane Brown) to his favorite AFC team (none of them). Wilson even picked the Chiefs to win it all on Sunday.
One sore topic came up when someone asked if Wilson would rather “run or pass” if he was at the 2-yard line . . . of course, a reminder of Wilson’s brutal intercepted pass which cost Seattle a victory in Super Bowl XLIX. This play will always live in infamy in Seahawks’ lore.
However, Wilson’s response was rather on-brand for the eternally optimistic signal-caller.
While Patriots’ Malcolm Butler’s interception will likely always haunt Seahawks fans, it is certainly reassuring to know Wilson isn’t letting it hold him back or diminish his desire to always look forward.
It’s exactly that kind of thinking which gives the 12th Man hope they will be seeing their team prepare to play on Sunday this time next year.
