While the title of most outstanding NFL quarterback goes to either Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson, any conversation about the most valuable quarterback has to include Russell Wilson. The Seattle Seahawks quarterback has taken on a much more prominent role as the defensive unit has slowly deteriorated since the Super Bowl days.
The Seahawks are a run-first team, as evidenced by keeping the ball on the ground on 45.7% of their offensive plays in 2019, the fifth-highest amount in the NFL. However, due to injuries, fumbling issues and a less-than-ideal defensive secondary, Wilson is frequently asked to play a successful version of "hero ball".
