An interesting insight into his drive and thought processes.
Makes sense why he wants to be at spring training. He is building his brand.
Even putting product placement in his interviews (he might need to learn to be a little less transparent there, but man he is worth the money as a spokesman because he is constantly bringing up the brands he supports in context of the interview).
I think his agent isn't putting him out there as much as he could, but for the times he gets the spotlight he does a good job with it. He does need to stop saying the same things in every interview, even though I am sure he believes it, because it is going to make it hard for people to sit through them if they feel they have already heard it before.
I certainly think that someone dropped the ball because I haven't seen much in the way of Russell Wilson endorsements since the SB, which is when you should have that stuff in place ready to play because he would still be fresh in the public consciousness then. Is his agent a solid one or a small contender? Right now he is rightfully getting lots of interviews but I don't hear anything about marketing companies, branding deals, or the like. Other than the Microsoft one that he had before the SB...where is the rest?
If this was posted elsewhere please go ahead and move it to that thread. I didn't see it anywhere else.
Also, whatever deal he does sign is going to be huge.
