It honestly makes me wonder if owners are paying scouts for just chilling in hotel rooms rather than actually looking at players.
Seriously... watch his college plays.. he's hitting all receivers in stride, throwing them open... he's clearly an NFL player.
He was such a pro prospect, he was benched at NC State. He was told by his coach he would never play in the NFL because he was too short. He was such a good pro prospect that almost no one showed up to his pro day to watch him throw. Bevell was one of the few coaches there and he liked Wilson so much, he convinced the Seahawks to draft him. He then was made Bevells project by Carol and Bevell did such a good job bringing him along, Wilson was named the starter over Flynn. So please don't tell me Bevell isn't good at his job and isn't an elite coach.

Did you watch Russell Wilson in College? Same. Exact. Player. Bevell had ZERO to do with Russell Wilson and it's funny to think otherwise.
Bevell sucks. He sucked in Seattle (he had Carroll and Russell Wilson), he definitely sucked in Detroit... and he's going to suck even harder here. His pathetic reputation will be saved by Trevor Lawrence's natural ability...... much like Bill Belichick's "legend' was created by lucking out with Tom Brady.
Wilson was considered such a great prospect coming out of college that every team passed on him twice. Some 3 times.
The pick was widely panned as a wasted pick because they had just signed Matt Flynn.
There were actually a ton of people predraft who said he would have gone first overall if he was just 6'3".

I highly doubt that, nobody was ever going to take anybody else at #1 over Andrew Luck..
However, I do remember a bunch of people saying he definitely would have been a 1st round draft pick if he was 6'3.

But he's not 6'3" thus wasn't considered a good prospect.
All I'm saying is no one "made" Russell Wilson.. he came in to the league able to do all these things. He just was shorter.
