Russell Wilson's Special Bond with his Dad | NFL Films Presents (2015) | NFL

Russell Wilson learned many life and football lessons from his late father, Harrison Wilson III. We learn more about the man who raised the Seahawks signal caller, including interviews with Wilson, Wilson’s older brother Harrison IV, and Wilson’s uncle Benjamin.

[@yoonjeongsoo9378]

You can just tell that his father and his whole family is just pure class.

Russell Wilson had such a positive home base. His Dad was truly a Man of Honor. Great family!

[@manavkumar6590]

I don't understand why so many people hate Russell. He is such a role model, and he is someone you would want to have as a team captain. In fact, so many star players playing for the Seahawks are really nice guys outside of the nfl (Thomas, Chancellor, Lynch and Sherman).

[@masterlee1372]

They're most likely 40-winners fans. I know some of them and they hate everything Seahawks, even the Great Russell Wilson.

Hate is out of jealousy cause of how he carry himself.like a gentleman and not trash.

[@FischZone]

Dude Russell Wilson is such a great guy so glad he fell to Seattle one of the biggest steals of NFL history it's sad cause I was on the Matt Flynn hype train (only really Seahawks fans now about the Matt Flynn hype)

[@marcamico5254]

Yeah,there was a lot of hype with Flynn when P. Manning was sitting on deck for Seattle to acquire. Just imagine if Seattle acquired Manning during the off-season with Seattle's O-line? Seattle would still have a record below .500 stemming from the '08 season when it was Holmgren's last season as a coach. Elway was looking short-term and Schneider and Carroll were looking for long-term success. I thought John Kitna was going to be Seattle's savior before Hasselbeck during the time Seattle was in the AFC West. Nope. Even Hasselbeck didn't have the same success as Wilson and Seattle was an offensive team back than with Alexander, Walter Jones, Steve Hutchinson,D-Jack, Nate the fake Burleson and Hackett. Yeah,we're all bandwagoners,right? Lololololol ... Idiots. Wilson > Hasselbeck,Krieg and Zorn. Best qb Seattle has EVER had and best generation Seattle has EVER had. Yep,even better than the Holmgren era. Dennis Erickson and Rick Mirer era was a learning curve to endure hardships. Glad the faith worked out. "Go Hawks."

[@cailondelano6239]

Nippy Fish Never trusted Flynn I seen Russel play I cried I knew he was special lol

[@demetriusrobinson6944]

Honestly I told my son that Russell would be the starting QB and would end up being a great one! He didn't let what others thought define him!

[@burtmacklin4497]

Not a hawks fan but I just admire Russel for being an amazing player, and a great Christian and personal influence on everyone

The Greatest love of all is between a Father and a son. you can hear it in the way they speak of their Dad and see it in their eyes.

[@tntshotgun7356]

At the end of Russell's career he will land in canton, Ohio and we all know that

[@Ariamaluum]

I wonder why his grandfather wasn't mentioned. He is still living and was no slouch. Aside from his degrees and being president of Norfolk State, he was a basketball coach at Jackson State from 1951-1960 before becoming Athletic director which he served till 1967. A Navy veteran, his ROTC program at Norfolk State produced the more Naval officers second to Annapolis. Likewise, his basketball teams had winning records, his players got not only bachelors but Masters and most of them were from Mississippi. Finally, his tutelage got players to pros like Cleveland Buckner, Willie Richardson, and Harold Jackson.

[@babyky31]

Because the video is about his Dad and the life lessons he learned from him

[@leamarie5129]

He's gonna have a monster season next season, mark my words. ask me to start a team in the NFL right now, he'd be my number one pick overall, thats how special he is.. poised, humble, class act all the way.

[@alexlanser9285]

I completely agree. Russell was the #1 pick in the Pro Bowl because he always gives everything, no matter how big the game is. So much more classy than Newton. Takes losses like a man. Inspires his team when he's down 31-0. He is a true winner and a future Hall of Famer.

Chargers had one of the most stacked team at wide receiver and he was one of the last cuts. I wonder if he was in training camp with another team, his chances had to been much better in making a roster. Graduating from Dartmouth he did not have to chase the dream very long. Nice plan B.
