CARSON, Calif. — Russell Wilson will always be tied to Andrew Luck as members of the NFL Draft class of 2012.
And that made it all that more surprising when Wilson heard Saturday, as he walked onto the field for the Seahawks’ preseason game against the Chargers, that Luck was retiring — one of the most surprising developments in recent NFL history.
“It’s kind of crazy to think about,” said Wilson, who said he was told the news by teammate Duane Brown as they walked back from the locker room to the field prior to Saturday’s 23-15 preseason win against the Chargers.
