Russell Wilson's strengths: The eight-time Pro Bowl quarterback has all the skills a premier play-caller needs in the NFL. He has the ability to make any throw down the field and has wide receivers to make nearly any catch. Wilson's finest skill is his ability to scramble away from defenders and still make big plays under pressure.

Russell Wilson's weaknesses: The Seattle Seahawks offensive line has been a major issue over the past few NFL seasons. They have been unable to protect Wilson, which has seen him sacked a number of times. Wilson also has a tendency to hold on to the ball for too long on some plays instead of simply throwing the ball away.
