I took you up on your "best thing" challenge. This really is the best thing I have read in awhile. It is a bit long but so worht it! Thanks for posting.
So much good stuff in here. Some good tidbits and a ton of insight on how Russell Wilson became Russell Wilson.
One of my favorite parts was this:
"When Russell got to Wisconsin, his compulsions stunned and amused his new coach. As the Badgers practiced the week before their first away game, Bret Bielema noticed that Wilson's head kept swiveling to a certain part of the stadium before each snap.
"I'm thinking what the devil is this kid looking at?" said Bielema, now at Arkansas. "Well, he'd gone on the Internet and looked up where we were playing and found out where the [play] clock was. It's in a different location in every stadium, and he was training his eyes to go to that part of the stadium as he took every snap."
