The quarterback is the most essential position in all of the major American sports. In many ways, the quarterback plays football and everyone else on offense is simply an upgrade of weapons, much like in a video game where you hope to continuously level up. Defensive players exist too ... but only to stop the quarterback. In previous eras of football, this may not have been true, but today it is.
And no quarterback drafted in the last eight years has been as successful as Russell Wilson, the 75th overall pick in the 2012 draft by the Seattle Seahawks.
