Preseason shows Russell Wilson ready for higher level
Wilson, whose team will open up its defense of the Super Bowl on Thursday against the Green Bay Packers, has looked much improved this summer, and it has showed in his numbers. He was 33 of 42 for 437 yards, with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the preseason. He also ran for three scores.
But more than the numbers, it's the way he has gotten them. He looked so much more confident in the pocket going through his reads.
One of Wilson's great strengths is throwing on the run outside the pocket -- he's as good anybody doing it -- but inside the pocket, I wasn't as sold on him as others.
This summer, we've seen a quarterback whose offseason work shows a passer who has taken big strides inside the pocket.
