Later this month Russell Wilson will begin his first training camp with his new team, the New York Giants. It will be the third franchise the 36-year-old quarterback has played for in the last three years and he's optimistic about his chances of turning things around not only for himself, but also for a team that has struggled in recent seasons.

Sports Illustrated's Conor Orr has a new in-depth feature story on Wilson and in it the quarterback revealed he got some advice from a former pro athlete who was a star in New York City during his playing days and understands the opportunity that awaits Wilson.
