Russell Wilson’s comeback case boils down to painfully obvious reason

Related Topics: Russell Wilson, New York Giants

New York Giants quarterback Russell Wilson has not thrown for over 4,000 passing yards since 2020. He’s no longer the improvisational magician who made Seahawks fans believe every broken play could become a 40+-yard touchdown, or a guy mentioned in the same sentence as Patrick Mahomes or Lamar Jackson.

The days of him being a top-five QB on the planet are long gone, but the 36-year-old, a surefire Hall-of-Famer, remains on the cusp of 50,000 career passing yards. While his mobility has faded with age, his pristine deep ball remains intact, leading to a 42:13 TD-INT ratio over his last two seasons.
