Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson drew criticism earlier this week for some of the NC State anecdotes he shared during his commencement address at the University of Wisconsin.
But Wilson's baseball coach at NC State, Elliott Avent, had no issues with Wilson's speech. He instead said he was proud of his former player and thought Wilson delivered a spectacular message.
In the speech, Wilson mentioned that he got 450 to 500 at-bats in his first two seasons, at NC State but the number was actually 143.
"I just think that’s nitpicky there," Avent said during an interview with 680 The Fan in Atlanta.
