DENVER — Russell Wilson plays football with evangelical zeal. In the Book of Russ, sloth is a deadly sin. The sinners might be forgiven. But they also will be left behind by a quarterback who earnestly treats the pursuit of a championship like a crusade.
“You have to set the tone every day. There is no other option,” Wilson said Monday, after a spring practice where attendance was voluntary, but the commitment to excellence was not optional.
“If you want to win, and if you want to win it all and be the best in the world as a team and everything else, there is no other option. That’s what we have to do. It’s a wild obsession every day.”
