Russell Wilson is asked why, as one of the greatest players of his generation, he hasn't won an MVP award. His answer is telling.
"It's not something I really think about," Wilson says. "But if I had to guess, I think there are people just beginning to really notice me."
It's a remarkable statement. It's also remarkably accurate. Wilson has long been an almost cloaked superhero. Playing in Seattle, outside the traditional NFL media power centers, as well as his low-key personality, has led to his greatness being overlooked.
There has never been a player in the history of the NFL who has, at the same time, been so impactful, so important to the league, so remarkable and, in so many ways, almost invisible.
