Seahawks GM compares Russell Wilson to Drew Brees

Found May 20, 2012 on Pro Football Zone: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Russell Wilson
TEAMS: Seattle Seahawks
Getty Images The Seattle Seahawks clearly love rookie quarterback Russell Wilson after drafting him in the third round of this year’s draft. It seems like general manager John Schneider loves him so much that he compares him to Saints quarterback Drew Brees. “He is the closest player I’ve done to Drew Brees and Jeff Garcia in terms of sliding, finding lanes and creating for himself,” Seattle general manager John Schneider said of Wilson. “He can slide and he has quick eyes. From an accuracy, anticipation standpoint, he is the closest to Drew Brees.” Of course the Seahawks would be thrilled if Wilson turned out to be as good as Brees. I don’t see why he can’t be.
