Our friend Keith Myers wrote about Russell Wilson’s performance so far in OTAs for 12th Man Rising. Apparently, not a single pass hit the ground when Wilson was practicing with his receivers in Seahawks camp. This is according to several eyewitnesses. If Wilson is already firing the ball on time and in exactly the right places, look out.
