Football is an inherently emotional game. That’s why it’s important for the leader of an offense to stay calm and consistent.

When a rookie quarterback can pull that off from the start of his career, it’s remarkable.

That’s what Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson has accomplished in Seattle. He joined PFT Live on Monday to discuss among other things his temperament, which has him not making faces or mouthing profanities when things go wrong. He stays even keeled and he keeps going and it’s an attitude that eventually will rub off on his teammates.

Heck, maybe it’ll rub off on you, if you watch the interview.
