Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson is prepared for the Super Bowl, according to ESPN.
Head coach Pete Carroll said Wilson’s preparation should put him in a good spot. “I don’t know how anybody could be better prepared to handle it,” Carroll added. Wilson’s preparation has been impressive. He told ESPN earlier in the week that he expects 56 different footballs to be used in the game. He also knows the Super Bowl emblem on the balls will make them slicker. Wilson is also aware of the differences in timing throughout the game. He’ll prepare as normal during the pre-game, but knows he’ll have 25-to-30 extra minutes in between warmups and the game. He’s also aware halftime will take 35-to-40 minutes, which is much longer than the regular season. Wilson is inexperienced when compared to Peyton Manning, but he’s willing to do whatever it takes to close the gap.
