Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is busy leading his team from a distance. Wilson spoke with 710 ESPN Seattle on Tuesday when he jumped on with host Jake Heaps, who is down in California training the signal-caller.
“Russell Wilson just took my mic from me and he’s so outraged that he heard this conversation and had to come say something,” Heaps said of the interview.
Wilson was asked about the virtual offseason and how things were working out in the new digital training world.
“In terms of the rookies, I’m in a group message with all of the draft picks, so we’re having a good time getting those guys ready,” Wilson said. “We’ve spent a lot of time – hours upon hours. I spend about two hours with them every day.
“We’ve been putting the work in, so they’re way ahead, so it’s been good.”
The Seahawks, like the rest of the teams around the league, won’t be able to return to Virginia Mason Athletic Center until they meet the strict standards set out by the NFL to ensure the safe opening of club facilities.
Until then, Wilson will continue to mentor his rookies however he can.
