Getting into his thirteenth season within the NFL, Russell Wilson has completed quite a bit. He’s teetering on the sting of a Corridor of Fame profession, and one other strong season or two ought to solidify his eventual golden jacket.
He completed step one of that equation by profitable the quarterback battle with Justin Fields to be the beginning quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 2024. The subsequent step is justifying that call with strong play.

Wilson has a strong probability of advancing on the all-time checklist for a number of notable statistics, together with two that would land him within the prime 10. There’s additionally one unlucky stat that he might discover himself the all-time chief of.

* Nonetheless Energetic
+ Corridor Of Fame
Wilson has taken 43.9 sacks per season all through his profession. If he maintains his tempo, he’ll both tie Tarkenton for the all-time lead or take sole possession of it. Aaron Rodgers can also be within the combine, however I don’t know if the 40-year-old might survive that sort of punishment to maintain tempo. Lord assist him if he does.
