Yankees: Russell Wilson still plays baseball?
When I saw the Yankees added Russell Wilson to their Spring Training roster, I was like, who? I’m not much of an NFL fan. But this is huge!
So he’s the Seattle Seahawks quarterback who is a Super Bowl Champion. Four times in the Pro Bowl. The NFL passing leader in 2015 and 2017. The touchdown leader in 2017. Why would I not know who he is? And more so, why would he want to be a member of the Yankees? I mean, this man that has forged a fantastic NFL career.
Wilson played both sports throughout much of his amateur career. He loved baseball but made his career in football. And who can blame him for that decision? He was one of the best quarterbacks coming out of the University of Wisconson.
