Russell Wilson

With all the football hype this weekend, we often forget these idolized men are just that – men. But one of the Seahawks, Russell Wilson, is an exceptional man of generous spirit. Wilson and his wife, Ashton, visit Seattle Children’s Hospital each Tuesday and spend time with the patients and their families. Russell listens and signs autographs and, yes, tosses the football with those little patients.

While all the talk this weekend will be on the statistics and Wilson’s ability to throw the football, scramble and perform under stress, some special fans know that no matter the score at the game’s end, Russell Wilson is a hero with heart.
