Russell Wilson

Russell Wilson is one of those rare athletes who just makes you a believer. At 5'11" he was supposed to be too short to play quarterback in the NFL — scouts said so, coaches hedged — and then he went out and became a nine-time Pro Bowler and led the Seattle Seahawks to their first-ever Super Bowl title in Super Bowl XLVIII. That "Legion of Boom" era in Seattle was genuinely special, and Wilson was the calm, accurate, almost eerily poised engine at the center of it. He can improvise under pressure in a way that makes your jaw drop, scrambling out of danger and then delivering a laser with defenders draped on him. Add in the fact that he was also drafted as a baseball player — the dude had legitimate pro prospects in two sports — and you realize the athletic ceiling on this guy was just absurd. Whatever comes next in his career, that Seahawks chapter alone cements his legacy.
