He gives God all the glory, as he becomes the fastest Quarterback to win 100 games
Even though The Seattle Seahawks are having one of their worst seasons in awhile, it could be the first time that they have a losing season during quarterback Russell Wilson's time with them, despite he recently won his 100th game of his career in his 10th season with the Seahawks.
Thirty-two year old Russell uploaded a chart on twitter showing the ten fastest quarterbacks to have won 100 games. He then said, "Jesus...You get ALL the Glory. "
During a post game press conference, Russell said that he goes all out to win every game. He praised his teammates and all the people that have supported him throughout his career. "That's why I play the game, is to win. Just to be in great company with some amazing players in the history of this game, it's pretty special."
Russell also said, "I think back to my Dad when he used to wake me up in the morning and before, I didn't really want to wake up that early. He used to try to wake me up at 5:15, 5:30 in the morning and he'd knock on my door and say 'Son, you want to be great?' Every day. I started answering the call, you know. I tried to be up earlier than him." Russell then gave an important message for athletes that look up to him for encouragement. He said, "To any young kid out there too, I think about the hard work. Hard work pays off. You have to put the work in. There's no mistaking hard work. I think back to my mom and my dad. They both demonstrated so much faith and they believed in my brother, my sister and me so much that they always encouraged rather than discouraged." Russell and his wife, Cara, are both God-fearing Christians who are both outspoken and honest about their faith in Jesus Christ. Earlier this year when Russell accepted the 2020 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award, he quoted part of scripture from the New Testament in the Bible. The scripture was from Corinthians 13:4; he said, "To America, to the world, love is patient, love is kind, love changes things. The great Walter Payton once said, 'We are stronger together than we are alone. Dad, I think Walter was right. To the young boy or girl who has a dream, who wants to make a difference, remember this one thing: love always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love changes things."
