🏈 Renowned quarterback trainer Quincy Avery said Wilson changed his mechanics, which is a positive.

“Much (more) rotational than before. He used to be very linear (and) would see his front leg lock out. I’m impressed his trainer was able to convey the value of the changes late in his career,” Avery wrote on X.

🏈 Russell Wilson is looking forward to wearing the Black and Gold.

Can’t wait to wear the Black & Gold
