It’s been a rough few days for Russell Wilson. The affable Seattle Seahawks star quarterback is being besieged by a hailstorm of criticism following comments he made during his commencement speech at the University of Wisconsin on Saturday.
You’ve probably heard it by now; Wilson seems to have exaggerated a few things. He claims former North Carolina State head football coach Tom O’Brien not only kicked him off the team in favor of Mike Glennon his senior year, but told him he would never play in the NFL and should “give it up.” Claims he made about his playing time as a baseball player for the Wolfpack have also come under question.
