Seahawks Russell Wilson ; “ It Takes Hard Work To Play QB In The NFL”

Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson spent a lot of his weekly media Zoom Conference answering questions about wide receiver Antonio Brown ,  Arizona quarterback Kyle Murrays growth and playing quarterback in the NFL.  A social media tweet  by ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported that the Seahawks are positioned to make a push to sign Brown once his suspension is lifted at the end of Week 8.

A SECOND CHANCE

The tweet started an absolute firestorm that engulfed the majority of Wilson’s press conference.  The press bombarded Wilson with  questions on how Wilson could advocate for an individual with some egregious  violations of the NFL’s personal conduct policy. Wilson to his credit never wavered and answered each and every question.  In fairness to the media Wilson was open to the idea of a transformed Brown joining the team.

“I think Antonio definitely has taken those steps [in the right direction], and like I said, nobody’s perfect,” Wilson said Thursday. “From the conversations I’ve had with him, he’s really been remorseful, and he’s been humbled along the way. Like I said, I pray that he can continue to grow, just like anybody.”

Brown is serving an eight-game suspension  that was announced  in July because of multiple  violations of the league’s personal conduct policy. The NFL  is investigating a sexually assault  lawsuit filed by Brown’s former athletic trainer.
