Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson continues to have something to prove and he seems poised to make his case this season.
Around the NFL writer, Dan Hanzus, recently took a look at all 32 teams around the league in an effort to predict each club’s Most Valuable Player for 2020.
Russell Wilson was his easy choice for Seattle.
“OK, Wilson is already demonstrably great – he’s a Super Bowl-winning quarterback on a collision course with Canton,” Hanzus writes. “But it feels almost immoral that Schottenheimer’s run-obsessed offense created a reality where Russell Wilson threw the same number of passes as Mitch Trubisky last season. (They tied for 12th amongst QBs with 516 attempts … and Wilson played one more game!) Go back to 2018, and Wilson finished 20th in passing attempts. Egads.”

“In Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf, Wilson has star-quality weapons to light it up on Sundays,” Hanzus continues. “He’ll put up stellar numbers worthy of league MVP consideration even if Seattle stays the course on offense. But just imagine if Pete Carroll ever let him chuck it around the yard at the rate of his fellow superstar passers.”
Wilson likely has loftier goals than just Seattle’s MVP . . . he’ll be playing for the top spot in the league in 2020.
