Russell Wilson is the Seattle Seahawks’ starting quarterback for the long haul. That much we know for sure. But what about the Seahawks’ backup quarterback?

According to Stephen Cohen of The […]

D.K. Metcalf hasn’t ever been afraid to take his shirt off and evidently, his confidence also made Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll follow suit.
