At 5-foot-11, Seahawks rookie quarterback Russell Wilson was knocked for his size leading up to last month's NFL Draft. Quarterbacks under six feet tall don't usually last in the NFL, but his promising 72.8 completion percentage as a senior at Wisconsin was alluring. Wilson wasn't too surprised when Seattle drafted him in the third round. "No, I wasn't surprised at all," Wilson told WTSO-AM. "I'd talked to several teams and they thought I could go in the second or third round, and talent-wise, I had all the talent in the world and just, the only knock on me was my height." "Obviously, if you've seen, throughout my career and playing at the University of Wisconsin, being behind those big offensive linemen, the height's not a factor. And that's just what I had to show teams, and I put it on tape. And that's what I kept telling teams: 'Just watch the tape and watch the way I play, I have a high, quick release.' And when teams measured my arms and my hands and everything, they were like, 'Man, this kid's got arms of a 6-5 quarterback.'"
