Quotes by Russell Wilson

My height doesnt define my skill set. To be a great quarterback, you have to have great leadership, great attention to detail and a relentless competitive nature - and I try to bring that on a daily basis.

I had a dream that my dad passed away and that Jesus came into the room and he was basically knocking on my door, saying, Hey, you need to find out more about me. So that Sunday morning I ended up going to church, and thats when I got saved.

My dad used to wake me up at 5:30 in the morning and hit me ground balls and tell me, Dont be afraid to excel. Dont be afraid to be great.

I think to be a great quarterback, you have to have a great leadership, great attention to detail, and a relentless competitive nature. And thats what I try to bring to the table, and I have a long way to go. Im still learning, and Im still on a constant quest for knowledge.

Honestly, being a 511 quarterback, not too many people think that you can play in the National Football League. And so for me, you know, I knew that my height doesnt define my skill set, you know? I believed in my talent. I believed in what God gave me. I believed in the knowledge that I have of the game.

I truly believe in positive synergy, that your positive mindset gives you a more hopeful outlook, and belief that you can do something great means you will do something great.

My faith is so strong that I believe that God made me 5-11 for a reason. For all the kids that have been told, no, that they cant do it, or all the kids that will be told no.

I remember my dad asking me one time, and its something that has always stuck with me: Why not you, Russ? You know, why not me? Why not me in the Super Bowl?
