Yet for all the impressive numbers Wilson has posted in his career—his 101.2 career passer rating ranks second all-time behind Aaron Rodgers, and his 100 touchdown passes over the last three seasons are an NFL high, by 15 touchdowns—what has defined Wilson's career most has been team success. Since Wilson and Bobby Wagner joined the Seahawks in 2012, Seattle has reached the playoffs seven times in eight years, been to two Super Bowls and won one. Wilson's 86 regular season wins are tied with Tom Brady for the most by a quarterback in his first eight seasons in the Super Bowl era.
"With Russell back there, it doesn't matter, you have a chance," Carroll said last season. "You have a chance no matter what's going on."
As veteran linebacker K.J. Wright put it last season, "If you've got Russell back there at quarterback, you've got a great chance of winning."
After Wilson helped lead the Seahawks to a Wild Card playoff win over the Eagles, Wright added, "He's just a guy that's so consistent, so poised, he can just make something out of nothing. I just love him and I'm glad he's my quarterback."
Wilson is the sixth player on the current Seahawk roster named to this year's Top 100, joining linebacker Bobby Wagner (13), safety Jamal Adams (27), receiver Tyler Lockett (65), receiver DK Metcalf (81) and running back Chris Carson (96). Also included was free agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who ranked 41st after spending 2019 with the Seahawks.
Also, with three former Seahawks making this year's top 100, Carroll and general manager John Schneider have drafted eight players in this year's Top 100: Wilson, Wagner, Lockett, Metcalf, Carson, Richard Sherman (28), Earl Thomas (75) and Frank Clark (95).
