One of the biggest criticisms of Russell Wilson coming out of Wisconsin was his height deficiency and a perceived inability to see over NFL offensive lines. Besides the obvious flaw in that logic — the Badgers’ offensive line is regularly one of the nation’s largest — it was an unfounded criticism for another reason: No quarterback, save for a few prototypes 6-foot-5 and above, regularly throw directly over their offensive linemen. Wilson, like Drew Brees before him, thrives off finding lanes and throwing at angles, as well as the natural ability to throw the football with timing and anticipation.
