After three NFL preseason games, former Badger and recently named starting QB Russell Wilson has shined for the Seahawks, with preseason numbers that include 35-for-52 passing (67.3 percent) for 464 yards, five TDs and a league-leading 119.4 QB rating. Wilson is one of five rookie QBs that has been named to start in week one.
