With the ongoing coronavirus pandemic profoundly affecting the offseason of the NFL, it has become increasingly more difficult for quarterbacks to train and create chemistry with incoming rookies. Developing a relationship with a team's new players is an integral part of the offseason, and despite the circumstances, Seattle Seahawks quarterback is on top of it.
In an interview with ESPN Seattle's Tom, Jake and Stacy, the six-time Pro Bowler spoke on how he was working with the Seahawks' recent draft picks.
“In terms of the rookies, I’m in a group message with all of the draft picks, so we’re having a good time getting those guys ready,” he said. “We’ve spent a lot of time (together) – hours upon hours. I spend about two hours with them every day. We’ve been putting the work in, so they’re way ahead, so it’s been good.”
Among the rookies drafted, Seattle added several new weapons to complement Wilson on the offseason. Guard Damien Lewis, tight ends Colby Parkinson and Stephen Sullivan, running back DeeJay Dallas and wide receiver Freddie Swain were all selected by the franchise in the recent draft.
As for Wilson, the former third-round pick has now made the Pro Bowl in three-straight seasons, and last season completed 66.1 percent of his passes, 4,110 yards, 31 touchdowns, and five interceptions. Wilson also added 342 yards and three touchdowns on the ground while leading the Seahawks to an 11-5 regular-season record.
Under Wilson last season, the Seahawks had a top 10 scoring offense in the league, putting up 25.3 points per game, which ranked ninth in the league.
