Russell Wilson refuses to move on

At the age of 36, Russell Wilson is experiencing a special season with the New York Giants.

Relegated to a reserve role for the remainder of the schedule, the former Super Bowl champion refuses to see this decision as the end of his career. The veteran firmly believes he still has “some good football ahead of him”.

“I'm not finished, I have so much confidence in myself and I know what I can contribute,” Wilson said.

The quarterback recalled that he had shown great things, particularly during the road game in Dallas. Despite his new role behind young Jaxson Dart, he wants to contribute in a different way.

Wilson says he wants to support his team-mate and remain an asset in the dressing room: “I'm focused on helping this team win. I love this organization, the process and especially the guys in the locker room.”

In three starts this season, Wilson has accumulated 778 air yards, 3 touchdown passes and 3 interceptions, with a 59.1% completion rate. Modest statistics, but proof that he remains capable of assuming a starting role if need be.

A mentoring role, but still with ambitions

By agreeing to play the experience and leadership card, Wilson is sending out a clear signal: he is ready to support the next generation, while keeping an eye on a possible opportunity to become a starter again. With his vast experience and leadership qualities, he believes he still has a place in the NFL, whether in New York or elsewhere.

The question remains: can Russell Wilson really become a full-time starter in the NFL again, or will he have to settle for a mentoring role in the years to come?
