From the moment I stepped foot on the campus of Fork Union Military Academy in Fork Union, Virginia (huh? Exactly) as a 16 year old competing for a roster spot on the legendary Blue Devil football team, the name Russell Wilson was branded into my psyche.

Somewhat of a mythical being at that point - Wilson was the star quarterback, point guard and pitcher of our main athletic rival, Collegiate School in Richmond, Virginia - the quintessential exclusive prep school that served as a perfect foil to the convict-like perception of Fork Union. In the bizarre-o world of "high-stakes" prep football in Virginia, every detail about your opponent is known (or made up). I was led to believe by my future teammates that not only was Russell Wilson 100% Cherokee Indian, but that he was also 100% Hindu and that aided him in being an agile quarterback (think Dhalsim from Street Fighter). We watched game tape of him in complete, stunned silence-- though I may be the only person who will admit that.

Similar experience here

Played against Wilson in baseball and football for four years. He shredded us every time. Thing is though after his last baseball game against us (Norfolk Academy) he came over to our bench and shook every one of our hands and thanked us for the good times the past half decade. He single handedly knocked us put of the playoffs in both sports that year and I still want the guy to win a Super Bowl, not this one of course, but some other one.

Read the comments at the bottom--he beats all hell out of an opposing baseball team for his whole high school career, then personally goes and shakes the hand of every opposing player, thanking them for the memories.

This kid is unbelievable!

There is going to be a movie about this guy some day.

I was thinking this exact thought the other day. Kid is going to be legendary, hell he already is as a rookie.

Dhalsim was actually one of the slowest characters in video game history. Still liked the reference though.
