Seahawks' Wilson to Wisconsin graduates: Don't throw a Super Bowl interception

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson returned to his alma mater in Madison, Wisconsin, on Saturday to deliver the commencement address to the University of Wisconsin's graduating class of 2016.

The 26-year-old shared some advice from his recent past, including a nod to his engagement to pop star Ciara Harris and a reference some Seahawks fans might still find a bit too painful to laugh at.

"If you're dating a woman that's way out of your league, ask her to marry you. If you can throw a football 80 yards, for some reason, people think that's pretty cool," Wilson said before raising his voice.
