36. <p>There hasn’t been a quarterback to begin his NFL career with as many wins as Russell Wilson who is 36-12 in his first three years with a 1-1 record in the Super Bowl. He experienced his finest personal success last year with a career-high in yards with 3,475 yards and his 845 rushing yards were a career-high and tied for the 16th-most in the NFL.</p>
<p>Perhaps most impressive is Wilson has done all this without a true No. 1 receiver at his disposal and he’s still managed to win at an unprecedented rate. Despite all the team success and personal glory Wilson has had in his first three years, critics will say he’s a product of the Seattle Seahawks and wouldn’t have the same success elsewhere.</p>
<p>Sure, having the best defense in the NFL helps win games and having a running back like Marshawn Lynch can be a quarterback’s best friend, but no one will say anything about Wilson overcoming having Doug Baldwin as his No. 1 receiver.</p>
<p>Wilson’s proved plenty in his short career, but now he enters the first year of his new four-year contract extension that pays him $60 million in guaranteed money and gives him a chance to prove to those who think he’s overpaid or a product of the system that they’re bogus claims.</p>.
