Russell Wilson on Attending Yankees Spring Training: 'It's an Honor to Be Here'

Russell Wilson has had an impressive NFL career to this point, but the Seattle Seahawks star is ready to show what he can do on the baseball field.

Wilson was in full New York Yankees gear prior to Monday's spring training game against the Philadelphia Phillies:

"It’s an honor to be here," the quarterback said in a press conference.

Wilson will not appear in a game, but he did get a chance to take infield practice. While he said he hadn't taken ground balls in a year and a half, his new teammates thought he looked good.
