The New York Giants today signed 10-time Pro Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson.
Wilson, 36, has started 199 regular-season games with the Seahawks (2012-21), Broncos (2022-23), and Steelers (2024). His 99.8 career passer rating ranks fifth in NFL history (minimum 1,500 pass attempts).
Wilson is 121-77-1 as a starter in the regular season and 9-8 in the postseason, including two Super Bowl appearances. Wilson won Super Bowl XLVIII with the Seahawks, a 43-8 victory over the Broncos, at MetLife Stadium.
Wilson, the 2020 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year, has recorded 101 career regular-season games with a passer rating of 100.0+ since Seattle selected him in the third round of the 2012 NFL Draft, most in the league over that span. His 350 passing touchdowns since 2012 are second-most in the NFL.
On the ground, Wilson has rushed 1,024 times (second in NFL history among quarterbacks) for 5,462 yards (fourth) and 31 touchdowns (tied for 20th). He is the lone quarterback in NFL history to accumulate 40,000+ passing yards and 5,000+ rushing yards for his career.
Wilson joined Peyton Manning (2012-14) as the only quarterbacks in NFL history with 30+ passing TDs and 100.0+ passer rating in three consecutive seasons (2018-20).
In 2024, Wilson missed the first six weeks of the season with an injury but started the next 12 games for the Steelers, including an appearance in the Wild Card Round.
Wilson has led his teams to double-digit wins in nine different seasons and nine playoff appearances.
Prior to the NFL, Wilson became the fifth player in NCAA FBS history to record at least 5,000 passing yards and 1,000 rushing yards while starting 50 consecutive games at Wisconsin (2011) and N.C. State (2008-11). He also established an NCAA FBS record after throwing 379 consecutive passes without an interception.
