WOW! This really demonstrates the progression of Russell Wilson and just how much he has truly grown as a QB. Check it out ...
In 2012 (as a rookie), Russell Wilson had an average snap to release time of 3.12 seconds (SLOWEST of all QB's with at least 175 dropbacks)

wrote about this issue back in February, noting the need for Russell to be quicker in his release. According to his article, here were the top 5 Fastest QB Releases in the NFL in 2015 ...
Andy Dalton ... 2.20 seconds
Tom Brady ... 2.26 seconds
Peyton Manning ... 2.27 seconds
Ryan Fitzpatrick ... 2.31 seconds
Alex Smith ... 2.32 seconds
In other words, Russell Wilson has gone from having the SLOWEST average release ... to now having one of the league's FASTEST.
Consider that in context -- Russell Wilson owns a career 3.17 Touchdown/Interception ratio – that is the 2nd Best TD/INT ratio of all time.

He sports a 64.8% career completion% -- that is the 8th Best of All Time.

And he’s one of the league’s best at throwing the deep ball, completing 40.5% of all deep passes he threw last year (3rd best in the NFL).
He’s deadly on the run outside the pocket … and now he’s shown the rest of the NFL (quite convincingly) what we and Pete Carroll have always known – that he is just as deadly FROM inside the pocket as well. He has evolved into one of the truly elite passers in this game and the numbers show it. He is right up there with Tom Brady, Aaron Rodgers, and whomever else you want to compare him to. Even the NY Daily News might even eventually begrudgingly admit that.
