With the Seattle Seahawks off to an impressive 3-1 start, head coach Pete Carroll gave a large portion of that credit to his quarterback, Russell Wilson. Telling the media that Wilson is off to the best start of his career, it'd be hard to argue his point.

Wilson has only turned the ball over once and still hasn't thrown an interception yet. While Carroll credited Wilson for the teams hot start, Wilson chose to look back on previous seasons and credit those experiences to helping him develop into one of the NFL's best quarterbacks.
Initially, Wilson was seen as a dual threat quarterback, akin to 2019 version of Lamar Jackson or Kyler Murray, who has the ability to use his legs and escape the pocket. However, as Wilson has progressed in his career his runs have become less and less frequent. He is turning into more of a pocket passer who can scramble and extend plays.
Wilson will further be tested in the upcoming weeks. The Seahawks host the Los Angeles Rams this Thursday, and the Cleveland Browns after that.
The Seattle defense has played well in its games so far, but it will be up to Wilson to continue to manage the game and help Seattle open up play-action passes that lead to big gains. Although not having the same kind of pieces compared to his teams that reached the Super Bowl, Wilson has looked better than ever.
