About this episode

The episode celebrates Russell Wilson's legacy with the Seattle Seahawks, highlighting his iconic plays and Hall of Fame candidacy following his retirement announcement.

With Russell Wilson's recent retirement announced, we want to celebrate his Seattle Seahawks legacy, from the "F" draft grade of his 2012 draft class to the defining moments that made Seattle a Super Bowl champion for the first time. We highlight seven iconic plays: rookie-year scrambles vs. the 49ers and Patriots, the 2017 double-pirouette strike to Doug Baldwin, pinpoint touchdowns to Tyler Lockett, the frigid 2015 playoff vs. Minnesota, and the overtime dagger to Jermaine Kearse in the 2014 NFC Championship. The Hall of Fame argument focuses on how he stacks up against other dual threat inductees: John Elway, Fran Tarkenton and Steve Young. Wilson's elite efficiency, comeback resume and status as the only NFL quarterback to achieve a 40,000/5,000 passing-rushing milestone put him in elite company amony other HOF quarterbacks. In the second half of the show we get into the off-field lore that also defined his career. We also take a look at how Wilson's success changed the opportunities for shorter quarterbacks in the NFL.
