The Seahawks drafted Russell Wilson with the 75th overall pick in last week's NFL Draft, the highest they have taken a quarterback since Rick Mirer went second overall in 1993. A two-sport athlete at North Carolina State, Wilson was drafted by the Rockies in 2010. The following fall, he returned to North Carolina State where he was a junior captain in football. He passed for 3,563 yards and 28 touchdowns, but the following spring decided he would give a full season to baseball, reporting for spring training. North Carolina State released him from scholarship in April, but by the summer, Wilson had decided he would come back to play football. "I realized that football is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life," Wilson said. "I experimented with the baseball thing. I knew that there's nothing better than getting ready for a football game, and playing in front of national audience."
