The Seattle Seahawks added a few new weapons this offseason to quarterback Russell Wilson’s arsenal via free agency and the 2020 NFL Draft. So will this finally be the year he will be recognized as the league’s Most Valuable Player?
NFL.com writer Adam Rank recently put together a piece highlighting one player from each NFL team to root for this season. His pick for the Seahawks is not a rookie or a new team member, it’s not even running back, Marshawn Lynch. Rank names Seattle’s signal-caller as the one he’ll love to watch in 2020.
“I know it seems weird that I would pick one of the most popular players in the NFL for this list. I get that,” Rank writes. “That said, Wilson is one of the most underappreciated players of his era. Most people would agree that he’s one of the most valuable players in the league. The Seahawks have struggled on the offensive line for what seems like years and it’s Wilson who has carried them. And yet, he’s never received a single MVP vote. Not one.”
Wilson has been steady throughout his career despite the many changes around him on the roster. Perhaps 2020 is finally the year Wilson gets the recognition he deserves.
