Russell Wilson wants to play in the NFL for 10 to 15 more years
Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson recently proclaimed that he wishes to play in the NFL for another 10 to 15 years.
Wilson told reporters Thursday that he feels he is just now entering his prime, despite supposedly being on the wrong side of 30.
“I feel great,” Wilson said during his press conference. “I feel like I’m just hitting the beginning of my prime of my career, and I feel like I got a lot more ball to play, 10, 15 more years of play. I want my best years to be ahead of me. That’s what I’m excited about; the best years are ahead of me.”
Wilson specified that he thinks he is at 70% of his full potential at 32 years old.
“For me personally I feel like I’m the best I’ve ever been, but I feel like I’m only at 70 percent capacity. I feel like I’ve got a whole ‘nother 30 (percent) more in me.”
Wilson may have lost some of his trademark mobility over the years, but he is still an elite passer and absolutely capable of leading the Seahawks to the Super Bowl. If there is a season, we can at least expect Wilson to work his magic on the field in 2020.
