Wilson's advice to grads: Don't throw INT late in Super Bowl

It was one of the most memorable plays in Super Bowl history.

With the Seahawks trailing the Patriots 28-24 with 26 seconds remaining in Super Bowl XLIX, Russell Wilson's pass intended for Ricardo Lockette was intercepted by Malcolm Butler, sealing the stunning victory for New England.

The play call was widely criticized. Why throw the ball when you have Marshawn Lynch capable of running it in?

On Saturday, more than a year after the play that cost the Seahawks a chance at back-to-back Super Bowl titles, Wilson was able to poke fun at the interception.

While giving the commencement speech at the University of Wisconsin, Wilson provided the graduating class with some simple advice, according to ESPN.
