Russell Wilson Discusses Death of 'Best Friend,' Mental Health Coach Trevor Moawad

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson spoke Thursday about the death of his mental-conditioning coach, business partner and best friend Trevor Moawad, who died this week from cancer.

Moawad was 48.

"When I think about my relationship with Trevor, I think about a man who was humble, I think about a man who always served, who always gave back, who was always dedicated to working and helping everyone," Wilson told reporters. "And everybody he helped, it seemed that they always got better."

Wilson told the story of how they first met, when the quarterback was training at the IMG Academy in 2012 in advance of the NFL draft.
